On: You already have a Git server

[cycomanic]

I suspect many who always use git remotely don't know that you can easily work with local repositories as well using the file protocol, git clone file:///path/to/repository will create a clone of the repository at the path.

I used that all the time when I had to move private repositories back and forth from work, without ssh access.

you don't need to specify the protocol.

For file protocol, just type a path.

For ssh, type a ssh connection string like lion@myserver.test:path/to/file
