h1. HowTo keep in sync your git repository for redmine
Here is a HowTo written by Farzy ("Farzad FARID":http://www.pragmatic-source.com/) that explains how to keep two git repositories syncronized

*Summary Of Above Blog Posts*
_In the below example, "git_user" and "project.git" should be modified for your GitHub project_
<pre>
git clone --bare git@github.com:git_user/project.git project.git
cd project.git
git remote add origin git@github.com:git_user/project.git
git fetch -v
git fetch origin
git reset --soft refs/remotes/origin/master
</pre>
_In this cron script, "app" is the owner of the project.git directory_
<pre>
sudo vi /etc/cron.d/sync_git_repos
# One-way synchronization of a local and remote bare Git repository.
# Repeat this line for each repository.
*/5 * * * * app cd /path/to/project.git && git fetch origin && git reset --soft refs/remotes/origin/master > /dev/null
</pre>
_*/5 in the last line defines the minute at which the synchronization takes place, for example, */2 would cause the sychronization to take place every two minutes. */5 causes the synchronization to take place on minutes divisible by 5 (5, 10, 15, etc.)_
UPDATE: when using sufficiently recent git (>=1.6.0)
<pre>
git clone --mirror git@github.com:git_user/project.git
</pre>
then install a crontask
<pre>
sudo vi /etc/cron.d/sync_git_repos
*/5 * * * * app cd /path/to/project.git && git fetch -q --all
</pre>
