Just a quick question: Can anyone recomment me a good to handle a centralized repository which is used by different users?
Requirements: must work in direct mode on both sides, server is Linux, clients are Windows and operated by 2 different users.
- Should the repository create bare or not?
- Must the repository created on the server or can it also be "pushed" from one client to the server (via SSH on the server)?
- Is there a better way for data transfer than SSH (WebDAV as in SVN)? I am still struggling with an elegant way to handle public keys in windows
- What is the best way to not only keep meta data in sync but also the data each of the users has checked out?
I suggest following this screencast: git-annex assistant lan
While it talks about a local network, this will also work with a server on the internet.
Thanks, great work!
I wanted to avoid the assistant so far because I feel I do not get so much control (particularly which files are synced to the clients) but I think I'll start with the assistant ...
