Install your own git server on Cent OS / RHEL /Fedora

i386:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

x86_64:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

As root run this command:

yum install git

Next I’m going to setup a new repository and make it accessible over ssh:

mkdir /home/rajat/repo #create directory for new repository
cd /home/rajat/repo
git init

We’ll create a dummy file to get started. If you trying to clone (checkout) an empty git repository, you’ll just get errors:

touch firstfile

Add all files in this directory to your git repository:

git add .

Commit the changes you’ve made to the repo:

git commit

Next we’ll create a clone of the repo and configure it to be public:

cd /home/rajat
git clone --bare ./repo repo.git
touch  repo.git/git-daemon-export-ok

you can copy your repo.git directory to where you want to make the repo public
Now we want to checkout a copy of the new repository from a different server.

git clone ssh://yourserveraddress/home/rajat/repo.git

You should now have a new directory labeled repo which contains the file ‘firstfile’
To add a new file to the repo:

cd repo
touch secondfile
git add .
git commit

Now we want to submit the changes back to the git server:

git push

You’ll be prompted for your password.
