After much searching and reading, I have not discovered how to set up a pair of git repositories to work together.
This makes no sense, that is what Git is for! :)
In the past, I have found git to be a very good solution. But now I am moving to a new computer, and I an having difficulty replicating the previous setup.
Rethinking your set up, might not be a bad idea!
My needs are simple. I need two git repositories.
Basically, Git uses non-bare/mirror repository (you work in this one) and an upstream repo which will be 'bare'.
The first is my work space, into which periodically I commit the article on which I am working.
I'm OK so far!
The second repository is my backup; it resides on another machine. Several times a day, I SSH into the backup machine and pull the working repository.
To me you only update upstream by pushes and never by pulling! So my suggestion in your case would be: - One repo to work in and to push to upstream - One upstream bare repo If you want a working repo on the same box as the bare repo is located, use the file protocol to pull using a cron job for automation!
