Set Up Git Repository on Storage Server
In this technical lab, we walk through the process of setting up a centralized Git repository for a new application deployment project. Unlike a standard working repository, we focus on the creation of a Bare Repository, which is the industry standard for shared storage and collaboration.
What you will learn in this session:
Remote Storage Access: Identifying and connecting to the designated Storage Server (ststor01) using the specific credentials for the user Natasha.
Directory Management: Navigating the Linux file system to the /opt directory and ensuring proper organizational structure for the new repository.
Bare Repository Fundamentals: * Understanding the difference between a "working" repository and a "--bare" repository.
Why bare repositories are essential for central servers (they contain only the versioning data, not a checked-out copy of files).
Git Command Mastery:
Using git init --bare to initialize the repository correctly in a single step.
Naming conventions for central repositories (using the .git extension).
System Verification: Using ls -l to inspect the newly created structure and confirming the presence of essential Git components like the config, hooks, and head files.
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to establish a professional-grade central Git hub on a remote storage server, ready for team collaboration and deployment.
