Use this ruby script to create two local git repositorys. One for local and one --bare repository for remote, but on the same machine.

Useful to host your remote repo e.g on your dropbox folder and sync them between your workplace and your home and devices.

Do not use this technique for working in a team!

Change the paths in the script:

LOCAL_PATH = 'C:\xampp\htdocs'
REMOTE_PATH = 'C:\Users\Windows\Desktop\Dropbox\repos'
UPSTREAM_NAME = 'dropbox'

Warning: If you on windows, dont use double quotes " for the path string. Because windows has backslashes, they would be escaped.

The upstream name in git is normally origin, but i named it dropbox, because it is clearer what it means.

Call the file in your terminal:

$ ruby path/to/bypo.rb

You will be prompted for a name for your repository. This command will create a name.git folder in your remote path, and a name folder in your local path. Further it creates a .gitignore file with few placeholders and makes a "initial commit" and push it to your remote repository.

Notice: If you have a folder in your LOCAL_PATH or REMOTE_PATH with the same name, you will be prompted and you can enter a new name.

The script automatically sets a new remote connection for your local file to the remote file. So you can use normally git push and others from your local file.

You can make the script executable with a double click. Run this in your terminal:

$ chmod a+x path/to/bypo.rb

and change the .rb extension to .sh.

• Rewrite code
• Validating
• Enter paths in console as first step and save them
• Smart GUI
• Two modes: Clone repo and Create new repo
