Good explanation, thank you. Worked without any issues.

great tutorial! thank you. and one more question, is it possible to synchronize Synology GIT server with gitlab or azure devops? Because working with NAS on local network is faster and it will be great to have also repository on some cloud.

Thanks for sharing
It's a way to git to Synology NAS Git server using VSCode? If ssh is not 22 (other) it’s can be done? Do you have tutorial NAS Git Synology and VSC?
Thank you for sharing and great tutorials

Thank you for the tutorial. I've followed this one and many others but I can't get the files stored locally to actually be pushed to the git server. Yes, the logs are committed (so, on my synology nas it git log shows the correct commit comments) correctly but nothing else. It's so frustrating. Any idea what could be going wrong? I'm starting to get the impression that the synology git server is just broken.

do a PXE tutorial! I'm tired of preparing usb flash drives everytime i do a reinstall of windows on my friends' laptops.

There is an issue when you try to ssh to synology server caused by git: fatal: git package does not support interactive shell. Any idea how to resolve the issue?

This is interesting. I like the privacy this can offer.
Is this though accessible over public network like someone not on the same network access that remote server from anywhere?
Also is it safe as the cloud providers like gitlab, github etc?

great tutorial. I noticed that you use Fork client seemingly without having to provide credentials, do you have SSH credentials enabled in the server side ?

[anticosmopolitan]

So if I get it right, the Git demon on Synology kicks in quite transparently. Your local "git ssh" command requests a dialog with the server-side demon instead of getting direct write access to the remote file system (as a normal ssh session would). And the demon for its part required no pre-setup with regards to which remote repos it was allowed to serve : it is happy to open up interaction with anything on its disk at any path you provide it (I assume the demon assumes that the path points to a legitimate Git repo). And I imagine you can open up a management console for the demon and specify what are the only repo paths it should accept, or which users are to enjoy what levels of access to them. Kind of sad you left those juiciest bits out of scope...

is there an advantage to running git server as a docker container instead of a Synology package?

[andthetimegoeson]

can I have a collaborator committing remotely to my Synology NAS?The collaborator is in another country and my NAS is at my home.

[mikenspired]

Have you figured out how to do this when your actually working remotely. Not on the local wifi.

It's much easier to use the server's name rather than the IP address, it works just fine and much less confusing and not to mention easier to remember?
