Question

I would like to use Git in my local computer such that,
H:\Projects\projectname will be my server-like repository and I would like work by cloning this repo to C:\Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname

How can I do that ?

Thanks

First you need to create a bare repository on H:. With git you usually name your bare repository with .git, so projectname.git in this case:

h:
cd \Projects\
mkdir projectname.git
cd projectname.git
git init --bare

When this is done you change to c to create your repository:

c:
cd \Users\xxx\AptanaProjects\projectname
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"

After this you need to setup the bare repo on h: as the remote repository so you can push up the code you just commited to the repo on c:

git remote add origin H:\Projects\projectname.git
git push origin master

Now, someone else can clone from H: to get your changes, and their repos will automatically be setup with the repo on H: as their origin.
