Laura Taylor | Git + Google Drive = Simple Git Host

Laura Taylor, (Taylor 2021)

1. Mount Google Drive locally

   • Linux: I prefer rclone (a)
   • Windows: Google Drive (a)
   • Mac: Google Drive (a)

2. Navigate to your local git repository you’d like to host on Google Drive

3. Create a bare git clone:

   git clone --bare \
       . \
       PATH_TO_GDRIVE/.../PROJECT_NAME.git
   

   Example:

   git clone --bare . /mnt/gdrive/projects/addon.git
   

4. Add this bare repository as a remote:

   git remote add \
       REMOTE_NAME \
       PATH_TO_GDRIVE/.../PROJECT_NAME.git
   

   Example:

   git remote add gdrive /mnt/gdrive/projects/addon.git
   

5. Push/pull project as you usually would from github/gitlab/etc
