Sharing your Git repository using Git daemon

Sharing your Git repository using Git daemon (for pull & push)

1. In a git repository run the following command to share it in read-only mode (pull only):

git daemon --export-all --base-path=.

(from the folder with the project to be shared)

and then clone directly, like:

git clone git://192.168.31.106/ destination_folder_name
git pull git://192.168.31.106/

2. In order to be able to pushing to your local repository from a remote machine you need to enable receive-pack:

git daemon --export-all --base-path=. --enable=receive-pack

then you can push like this:

git push git://192.168.31.106/

Note: you cannot push to a checked out branch! (just switch the branch using git checkout on the destination machine before trying to push to it)

Is it possible that make git ask for a username and password when pushing?
