Creating private cocoapods repo outside github

Question

We are working on projects which use both open-source libraries and our private libraries which can't go public. By public I mean, that they can't be hosted outside our company servers. We would like to use CocoaPods for all of them. While using open-source libs is pretty easy, my question is if I can use private repository on our private servers to host our private libs? I've found this link http://guides.cocoapods.org/making/private-cocoapods.html, and there is no information weather it has to be github or it can be any server, however I was also looking for solution on other pages and everybody say that I has to be repo on github. Is it true?

Answer 1

It does not have to be a repo on GitHub. See the private pods guide for more info.

Answer 2

Just add a new local repo and configure the remote as needed:

mkdir ~/.cocoapods/repos/private
cd ~/.cocoapods/repos/private
git init
git commit -m Initial
git remote add origin https://myremote.org
git push -u origin master
