Raspberry Pi Git Server: Build your own Private Git Repository

In this video, I go through the steps of setting up a Raspberry Pi git server. This is a pretty easy project and is super handy for anyone who is looking at getting into coding and would like to use code versioning software.

Git is a hugely popular version control software that is used by a lot of companies and individuals for tracking of their code. A version control software such as git allows people to be able to track changes, create branches, merge changes and much more.

You will find that there are plenty of Git or SVN solutions out there such as github, bitbucket and much more. However, these tend to end up costing so you might be interested in your own private git server.

The installation of the required packages for the git server is pretty straight forward. This step probably will only take you a couple of minutes and is actually likely to already be installed on your device.

Setting up your first repository is a little more in-depth and will require a little bit of knowledge of git and its commands. I highly recommend taking a look at a lot of the great tutorials that are currently on the internet. In the video I will show you the basics to getting a repository up and going on your Raspberry Pi Git Server.

Accessing your git repositories outside your local network will require a little bit of extra work. To do this you will need to port forward the SSH port on your router. If you find my port forwarding tutorial this takes you through steps you will need to take to get this done.

At about 3:50 and 4:40, when the narration says "semicolon" (;), what you type is actually a colon (:).

Really cool, but my question is why I cannot see the files at the Raspberry Pi repository folder? It remains empty.
