How to host a github?

How to host a github?

[jvsrvcs]

I want to share code with a few co-workers and I want to use git.

I installed git (cygwin), created a /project/ and then $cd project
and then $git init

I have found so much documentation as to what to do next, that
I'm confused.

Do I have to create an account on github in order to share code with
a few local developers?

Could I run some sort of server on my laptop in order to share code?
(we only need to share during office hours).  Basically I just
want to share code but do not want to sign up for an account
on github.

How do I work this?

thanks

See also "git add" and "git commit" in the tutorials below.

Start here: http://www.git-scm.com/documentation ("Tutorials" section).
The recently published http://progit.org/book/ can be also recommended.

No.

Yes. You don't have to, though.

Look for fetch, push, and patches in the tutorials.

Patiently.

Read "Git User's Manual" (should be distributed with Git), check out
"Git Community Book" (http://book.git-scm.com).

No, you don't have to do that.

Hey,  assuming you have shell access into your laptop, create a user named
git.  You don't have to do this but you want to give everyone access to an
account on the laptop.  You could also create a usergroup and add the
project folder to that group and give all your developers access to that
group.

Either-way once everyone is able to log onto the laptop make a new directory
called project.git.  Then go into that directory and use git --bare init.

Assuming you created a user named git you can then check the code out via

git clone git@localhost:project.git

to start things off from the source you will be working on you can then use:

git init
touch 'Readme'
git add Readme
git commit -m 'Initial Comit'
git remote add origin git@ip:project.git
git push origin master
