How to easily launch a temporary one-off git server from any local repository, to enable a peer-to-peer git workflow.

git-serve.md

This article is now published on my website: A one-off git repo server.

Nice. However you still have to expose your port.

I rather use git bundle as described here: https://git-scm.com/blog/2010/03/10/bundles.html

It also solves the issue when you do not want to be online at the same time.

For anyone wondering why simply running a http server in the repo directory is a bad idea: you have to ensure the repo is "packed" at all times by periodically running git repack, otherwise the clients will get some random old state of the repo

A new built-in command git-serve was added in Git 2.18, so the alias "serve" no longer works. Changing the alias to "server" is a simple workaround.
