I pull’ed some public repository, made few changes here and there. I committed them to my local copy. I regularly pull from remote to get changes from the public repo. Occasionally, I work on that local copy from different PC’s and I need to move entire source code between PCs so that they share exactly the same changes. A few times I messed up copying and lost some of my local changes. So my question is: how can I set up some sort of local git server on one of the PCs so that I could still pull changes from that public repo and commit my local changes to my local git server so that I would be able to synchronize my work between multiple PCs without copying full source three?
I use Windows
Remember that a git repository is ultimately just a set of files on disk.
You can put your main local git repository on a network share and then push / pull with repos on other computers on the same LAN.
This has worked well for me in the past (main repo on a server, other repos on laptops, desktop PCs etc.)
