I’ve just installed Git using http://windows.github.com/ on our server.
It seems to be installed correctly. I want to know whether I can access the server’s Git by some url? Although the one I installed doesn’t give me any URL, it has just created a folder for repository nothing else.
I want to access this from other PC in network. Do I need to install Git on client system as well? How does it work?
Please advise.
GitHub for Windows is a client to access GitHub repositories, not a server. There a several applications available, which act as a server, like Gerrit, GitBlit etc. which should also work an Windows, since they are Java based (for GitBlit i’m sure, since i’ve used it on Windows). They also provide user management etc.
However, you can also just use a Windows Share to access the repositories on your server, but i wouldn’t recommend that, if you have multiple users or if you want to apply access restrictions on the repository.
Of course you also have to install Git in your client systems. Depending on your needs and OSs etc. there are a command line client available (http://msysgit.github.com/) or some Gui clients like GitExtensions or SmartGit (commercial).
