How to push a local Git repository to another computer?

Question

I have a local Git repository setup on my laptop. I would like to push it to my desktop.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

The easiest (not the best) way is to share the repository directory via LAN, and use git's file:// protocol (see man git).

For me, the best way is to use gitolite (see gitolite docs for detailed instructions).
