How do I transfer a git repo to my other computer?

I've got a git repo set up on my iMac and I'd like to download it to my MacBook so I can work on it there. How do I do that?

In Mac machine: Goto required folder using terminal.

  1. Open terminal

  2. type cd and drag and drop folder on terminal.

  3. you are in same folder where you want to download

  4. use command: 

    cd <folder path of local machine>
git clone <url> 

eg: Mac-mini: macuser$ cd /Users/macuser/Desktop/GIT_PROJ
Mac-mini:GIT_PROJ macuser$  git clone https://abcd@bitbucket.org/abcd/sample.git

  5. it will download the Repository to you local machine.

Git is self-contained - simply copying the contents of the repository would work fine.

If you have SSH access to the machine it's currently on, you could also simply use git clone.

If it's accessible just use:

git clone

Otherwise just copy the .git folder by hand. That should be sufficient.

You can git clone it like any git repository. If you have git-daemon setup, it's:

git clone git://your-imac/repoName

If not, you can use ssh:

git clone username@your-imac:/path/to/your/repo
