How to set up a Git local server on Windows

To set up a local server for code version control and collaborative development, Git is a good choice. In this article, I will show you how to set up a Git local server on Windows.

Step 1: Install Git

First, you need to download and install Git. You can download the installation program from the Git official website, and then install it according to the installation wizard.

Step 2: Create a bare warehouse

Next, you need to create a bare warehouse. This repository will hold your code and allow others to share and edit these files with you. In order to create a bare repository, you can use the following command:

C:\ git init --bare myrepository.git

Here, myrepository is the name of the repository you want to create. This command will create a folder named myrepository.git on the C drive that contains all files managed by Git.

Step 3: Set up Git server

Now, you need to set up Git server so that others can connect to your server over the network and share your code. To do this, you need to start the SSH service and create SSH accounts for other users.

1. Start SSH service

To start the SSH service, you can press the Win key R key to open the run window, then enter services.msc and open the service window. Find the "OpenSSH Server" service in the window, right-click on it and select the "Start" option. Now, the SSH service has been started.

2. Create SSH Account

To create an SSH account for another user, you can use the following command:

C:\ net user <username> <password> /add

Here, username and password are you Username and password for the new account to be created. Then, you need to set up Git Shell as the default shell for the user. To do this, right-click on the Start menu and select the "Command Prompt (Git Bash)" option. Then, enter the following command:

C:\ net localgroup sshusers <username> /add

Step 4: Clone the repository

Now, you need to clone the repository to gain full access. To do this, clone the repository using the following command:

C:\ git clone ssh://<username>@localhost/C:/myrepository.git

Here, username is the username of the SSH account you created earlier, and myrepository is the name of the bare repository you created in the second step. You can place this clone command where you want the library to be placed.

Now, you have successfully set up a Git local server. Others can connect to your server over the network and share and collaborate on development. If you encounter any problems, please check the official Git documentation for more help.
