Hi,
I'm considering to use git to track my sources.
So far I was able to use git on a single machine and play with its
basic features.
Now I would like to setup a repository on a server and use it as a
central point of distribution for a few other computers.
As far as I can understand, the default mechanism for push / pull
requires that git is installed on every machine, including the server.
My problem is that I can hardly install git on the server for several
reasons that I will not explain here (also I'm not the administrator
of the server).
So I am looking for other solutions.
For the moment I came only to the following idea: mount the remote
repository via fuse-ssh and use the local installation of git to push
/ pull changes.
Surely it is inefficient but I don't care too much (my repositories
are small enough I think).
Can you see other drawbacks of this solution?
Also I wonder if other kind of synchronizations are possible (rsync,
unison, ...).
Are there other obvious solutions that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Marco
