setting up git repository on local machine

Question

How can I setup a git repository on a local system ? (I am on a windoze box)

This is the setup I am trying to achieve: (everything is on my local machine)

Answer 1

In your client directory you have will notice a .git directory. A bare version is basically just that .git directory contents without a working copy.

Easiest thing to do would be to clone it (vs trying to setup another repository):

From c:/ call:

git clone d:/host client

This says clone the 'host' repo and store it under a folder called 'client'.
