copied!<p>You can use the <strong><a href="http://progit.org/book/ch4-1.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">local protocol</a></strong>: a simple shared path is enough for two Git repositories on two PC on the same LAN to push/pull from each other.<br> No need (in this case) for a "central" server.</p> <hr> <p>As <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/47207/noel-kennedy">Noel Kennedy</a> points out in the comments, he had to locally map a drive letter to the remote repo before executing: <code>git clone file:///z</code>.<br> <strong>That is the safest path, since <a href="http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=351" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UNC paths are not always supported with some versions of msysgit</a>.</strong></p> <p>You can use UNC paths with recent msysgit versions though, like in a Git bash session:</p> <pre><code>$ cd /c/temp $ git clone //remote-host/share/path/to/repo.git </code></pre> <p>(note the '<code>/</code>' instead of the Windows '<code>\</code>')</p> <p>In a DOS session, after adding the <code>mingw/bin</code> path, it might work too (i.e. using an UNC path instead of a mapped drive)</p> <pre><code>C:\temp>set PATH=%PATH%;c:\msysgit\bin;c:\msysgit\mingw\bin C:\temp>git clone \\\\remote-host\\share\\path\\to\\repo.git </code></pre> <hr> <p>Update August 2014 (4 years later), Git 2.1</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/git/git/commit/c2369bdf7ff082d588c4a4efe280bc4a483d0192" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Commit c2369bd</a> by Eric Sunshine and <a href="https://github.com/czawadka" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cezary Zawadka (<code>czawadka</code>)</a> means a simpler UNC path now work:</p> <h3>Windows: allow using UNC path for git repository</h3> <blockquote> <p>Eric Sunshine fixed <code>mingw_offset_1st_component()</code> to return consistently "<code>foo</code>" for UNC "<code>//machine/share/foo</code>", cf <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/c0af578549b5dda0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this thread</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p>So this should now work:</p> <pre><code>git clone //mymachine/shared/repo.git </code></pre>
