Git server auto sync to another location server

Question

I am using git server in ubuntu. I have another server in other place. Now I have to sync the file between this two git servers every day morning 6 am. how to do this one. because i am new one for git.

Answer 1

First, make a mirrored clone of the repository on the second server. A mirrored repository is one that looks exactly like its origin, rather than having remote branches corresponding to the ones in the origin. git help clone explains it better than I do:

Set up a mirror of the source repository. This implies --bare. Compared to --bare, --mirror not only maps local branches of the source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such that all these refs are overwritten by a git remote update in the target repository.

So make your mirror:

git clone --mirror git://example.com/repo.git

Then all your cron job has to do is a git fetch:

cd repo.git
git fetch

The repo remembers where it was cloned from and fetches from there by default.
