Network Drive¶

Tips¶

Stop tracking the file but not delete it from your system use:

git rm --cached filename

git add filename

To untrack every file that is now in your .gitignore:

• commit any outstanding code changes

• removes any changed files from the index: git rm -r --cached .

• then just run: git add .

• commit it: git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"

Using Git on a Windows Network Drive¶

• move to the soon to be git repository cd /D "Y:\dev\MyProject"

• create an empty git repository git init --bare

• clone a local reporitory (this will copy to local) cd /D "C:\dev\MyProject & git clone file:"//Y:\dev"

already have a local git repository

cd "C:\dev\MyProject
git remote add origin file:"//Y:\dev\MyProject"
git push origin master

Fetch master branch from Windows Network Drive

• move to the soon to be git repository cd "C:\dev\MyProject"

• reate an empty git repository git init

• fetch master branch from origin $ git pull "Y:\dev\MyProject" "master"
