What do you mean by local server? You want to share the git repo on one |
| 10 |
of your machines with some other machines of yours? |
| 11 |
|

If so, the git repo is just a directory, and can be copied around with |
| 13 |
scp or anything else. But to do it efficiently, git knows how to operate |
| 14 |
over SSH. So on the client, you can do something like, |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ git clone my-server.example.com:/path/to/repo.git |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Enter the SSH password for your account on my-server.example.com, and |
| 19 |
git will clone the whole repo. Later on, running `git pull` on the |
| 20 |
client (from within the repo.git directory) will sync it. |
