You can literally run a single command to setup a remote git repository on a server that has ssh.

Yep! And some emulators only do dev work that way now. N*ntendo made sure of that.

Like, really? God I feel stupid if it's that easy

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yup

git init --bare test_repo.git

If you can ssh into it, you should be able to add that just like any other remote to your local git.

You can clone local repos from your filesystem as well. There's really not a lot of magic to it which is what makes it so cool.

sorry if I'm extra stupid with these questions, but how you add that as a remote then?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

git remote add origin ssh://<<username>>@<<host>>/path/to/test_repo.git
