I'm a newbie to git, but from what I've learned so far, I want to have both a working git repository and a "bare" git repository for some development I want to do.
I've seen two ways to create a bare repository (iirc, init --bare ... and clone --bare ...) , and I've had a few problems using those so far. I'm wondering if a third way will work--I would propose to copy the entire contents of my working repository to another directory, then delete all that is not under the .git directory, and then rename the .git directory to git. AFAICT, this should work (although maybe I need to completely remove the .git directory level and move it to the parent). In other words, assume I have: .../scite with a work space and a .git directory I would plan to copy this to: .../back/scite with no workspace but a git directory or: .../back/scite with no workspace and the content of the git directory here (no git subdirectory) Comments? Am I setting a trap for myself? Some background: I am paranoid about losing work, and having a hidden directory (.git) where I am doing development makes me more paranoid (in the past, I have done things like delete directories with hidden subdirectories or files because I forgot about the hidden stuff). So, as I develop, after I commit to the .../scite/.git repository, I plan to push to the .../back/scite repository. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
