Does redmine really need a Local and a Bare GIT repository or can I function with just a Bare?

Added by Anthony S over 13 years ago

Hello,

I have a remote dedicated server which has both GIT and Redmine installed and running. I work from home via EGIT in Aptana. My end goal is to get the repository going so me and 3 of my partners can develop multiple projects.

At the current moment I have a Local repository on the dedicated server and a bare repository so redmine can connect to. However I am having issues pushing my GIT repository from my home computer to my server.

In summary, I want to know if redmine can function perfectly fine using just a bare repository. Also considering the fact that I want me and my partners to pull-push from the bare repository located on the same server as redmine. This would simplify things alot and destroy the need to setup syncs via cron.

The only reason I ask this simple question is because I am stilling learning how to use everything together properly and still very much un-experienced in the whole matter but making great progress.

The manual located here:
- http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineRepositories

Specifically states:
"Redmine requires a bare and local repository to enable browsing through Redmine."

Although now that I think of it, am I confusing the statement and in reality it actually means that redmine needs a bare directory to work but the bare directory must be local? or Does it really mean that I need two repositories on my server per project?

Any advice, comments, etc.. is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Okay for those curious, it doesn't. I have the local repository on my home computer with the bare repository on my dedicated server that has redmine on it. From my computer I push directly to the bare repository on the server and Redmine instantly picks up the changes. :)
