If you find yourself on a network with other developers you’d like to share a git repo with, here’s a simple way to do that. First, on your machine, the one with the git repo, you run this:

$ git daemon --base-path=/path/to/dir/with/repo --export-all

So if you have a git repo in your home directory called, foo, you would make the base path be your home directory. Then, assuming your IP is 192.168.1.42, others can clone the repo using:

$ git clone git://192.168.1.42/foo
