Setting up a local (private) GIT repository

I don’t claim to be an expert regarding the use and configuration of GIT but this evening I did manage to get a local repository up and running. The reason I am switching from SVN is because I really like the ease of use and being part of http://github.com it is best I get up to speed on GIT.

 

I am just going to list a few articles I found that helped me get everything running. There are a few things I need to sort out, like the RSA keys and authentication using them but I will handle that another time, for now I don’t mind typing in my password. Please note that I setup my repo on a Windows machine.

 

Well without further delay, here you go:

I am South African. Always have been always will be. I love my country. I love my wife and two children.


I also really enjoy solving problems. I currently work as a Software Architect exploring new solutions for business problems. Having been round the block a few times I enjoy showing new developers how best to solve problems, how to find answers and how to approach solution development.


In my spare time I enjoy riding my super bike, training in Systema and horsing around with my family.
