'man git' $ git remote add windows user@winbox-name-or-ip:path/to/gitrepo $ git push windows feature-branch $ git fetch windows Cheers, Glenn -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
