Is it possible to use the same git bare repository to hold data for different repositories? In other words, can I:
create a git bare repository (called BARE REPO)
clone it with master branch data from REMOTE REPO A
- git clone -b consolidate --single-branch [email protected]:ConsolidateService.git
- exec git add .
- touch README.md
- exec git commit -m "add README"
- exec git remote add consolidate
ssh://[email protected]/var/repos/app.makeatoy.git
- exec git push consolidate master
erase the contents of BARE REPO
re-clone it with master branch data from REMOTE REPO B
- git clone -b test --single-branch [email protected]:TestService.git
- exec git add .
- touch README.md
- exec git commit -m "add README"
- exec git remote add testing
ssh://[email protected]/var/repos/app.makeatoy.git
- exec git push testing master
erase the contents of BARE REPO
re-clone it with master branch data from REMOTE REPO C
- git clone -b prod --single-branch [email protected]:ProdService.git
- exec git add .
- touch README.md
- exec git commit -m "add README"
- exec git remote add production
ssh://[email protected]/var/repos/app.makeatoy.git
- exec git push production master
If it is possible, how would one erase the contents of a bare repository?
TIA
create a bare repo and just add the remotes from different projects. To git, it's just unrelated branches. No need to delete anything after you fetch from each one (there's no working tree on a bare repo so nothing to delete.).
