Moving a git repository

Question

This question may be dumb, but I\'ve been wondering it for a while. It\'s about git repositories, but I assume it\'s the same for local repositories for other DVCS\'.

Answer 1

You can move the git directory from one machine to another or say, you want to migrate your project folder.

All the information about origin is stored in '.git' folder, which is created when you initialize a git repository under a directory on your system.

Procedure

1. : Move the project folder to other location.
2. : If the project folder is being moved to a new machine, then create corresponding SSH key-pair.
3. : Tell git who you are using: git config --global user.email "your_git_email_id@youremail"
