How to cache github repos so 2nd git clone will use the cache instead of github repo

senario:

1) we're in China, so access github is slow and sometimes impossible, and as u know, we can't live w/out github.

2) when developing iOS projects, we use Cocoapods, and it uses a lot github repos, so when installing pods, many command like git clone [email protected]/reactivecocoa/ReactiveCocoa will be triggered.

so is there any way can we improve this process? the best solution to me seems to make a local cache of these github repos, when triggering git clone [email protected]/reactivecocoa/ReactiveCocoa it's actually triggering git clone http://192.168.1.199/repos/reactivecocoa/ReactiveCocoa, and the server can tell if certain pod exists, if yes return the cached, else make a github request and cache the result.

but can't find a workable strategy to achieve this, any suggestions?
