Set Editor For Git Osx Full Name And

In this tutorial, I will go over the instructions to setup a git server on Mac OS X.

Here, I will assume that the server IP address is 12.34.56.78.

First, you will need to add a user named git, into which client machines will ssh into.

To do so, 1. Open up System Preferences - Users Groups.

You may need to click the Lock image to make any changes.

Click on the button to add a user.

Add a standard user whose full name and account name is git.

Next, you will need to allow ssh login for user git from client machines.

Check Remote Login box.

Add the user git in the Allow access for field by clicking on the button.

From your client system, make sure that you can remote log into the servers git account.

Note that here I am assuming that you are using the port 22 to access the server.

Depending on your router or firewall configuration, the port number may differ.

Lets assume that you will want to create a repository named Project.

From the git account from the server or through ssh, run pwd Usersgit git init --bare Project.git This will create a bare Project repository on the server, which clients can clone, push to, and pull from.

The location of this repository in this case is UsersgitProject.git, as you can see from pwd command above.

To clone this repository from a client, you will need to run the following from the client git clone ssh:git12.34.56.78:22UsersgitProject.git You will need to enter the password for the servers git account, as if you are remote logging into it through ssh.

Note: If you are concerned with safety, you may want to disable password login and instead only allow public key authentication.
