Setting up a remote SSH git server

git-server.md

This assumes you can already ssh USER@HOST with appropriate public key auth.

On the server

1. Download and compile git source

   curl -O https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9.4.tar.gz
   tar -gzvf git-2.9.4.tar.gz
   cd git-2.9.4
   make configure
   ./configure --prefix=/home/jmakeig/bin # Install it in my home directory
   make all doc info
   make install

2. Make sure git is in your path

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH":/home/jmakeig/bin/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

3. Create and initialize the repo

   mkdir -p ~/git/myrepo.git
   cd ~/git/myrepo.git
   git init --bare

On the client

1. Add the remote

   git remote add marklogic USER@HOST:/home/jmakeig/git/myrepo.git

2. Push away

   cd ~/myrepo
   git push marklogic master
