Question

Git repository from one machine to another

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can just clone it from the server, assuming you have access to where the clone is stored - the power of distribution ;)

I'm not sure i have access to where the clone is stored. Not sure how i pulled the original code set either.

I think Matt means to clone it to from compuer B ("existing server") to computer C ("another computer"). Computer A is the one you don't have access to anymore. git clone entry in manual: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html

Do you have a clone on your computer locally then? You can clone from that just the same; the repositories contain all of the same information, modulo any changes since you last pulled.

I don't have a clone on my computer locally no. Just on the original workstation that i originally pulled the code to.Let me edit the question with more information.

Shaun F 2010-01-19 03:22:29

Yeah, based on your edit, you can clone from computer B to C, like @matt b said. That's what's meant by "distributed source control" - there's no difference between cloning from B or from A onto C, and its just as easy to add A as a remote to C later if you get access back and want to make that the 'main' upstream repository.

Answer 2

A:

You mean you wanna clone it to a different computer?

How about:

git clone ssh://myserver/path/to/myproject.git

You can either pull from the network location or copy the entire directory(containing .git folder) accross to the other computer.
