-*- emacs-wiki -*- You need a machine on a public IP that can run either anonymous rsync (somewhat deprecated) or http. It's better if you have a machine on which you can ssh into and on which you can install git, or at least git-init and git-unpack-objects. If you don't have that, but can FTP mirror to it, or rsync to it (perhaps over SSH), then you can make it work. Just pretend your local machine is the remote machine, make a new directory, and arrange to push that directory to your web server. So, you start by doing this on your laptop/desktop: cd /someplace git clone git://git.openswan.org/public/scm/openswan.public openswan.git This creates a directory openswan.git, and sets up the "origin" branch to point to the above url. To do the equivalent of "cvs update", you run "git pull" (or cg-fetch). Next, you login to your web server, and do: ssh mywebserver cd /var/www mkdir -p scm/openswan.git cd scm/openswan.git git init On your laptop you can now do: cd /someplace/openswan.git git remote add public git+ssh://mywebserver/var/www/scm/openswan.git git push public master (it should copy everything to your web server)
