I currently use svn at work.
Our setup is: everyone has a working copy and we commit to a svn server served by apache2.
So I commit changed, the other update, and everyone can work on the copy as they wish.
So it's pretty easy to deploy.
But now, I'd like to do the same thing but with Git. Would it be possible?
I'd like to have a git repo on my main server, develop at home, commit changes to the server, etc.
Thanks for your help
Yes it's possible.
On the server where your stuff is located:
git init
git add .
On your local computer:
git clone git://yourserver/repo localfolder
To get changes:
git pull
git fetch
To send changes to server:
git push
Here are links how to setup your server
Git - SVN Crash Course
Especially this is of interest for a starter
git init
git add
git clone git://...
git pull
git fetch
git push
Then check the rest of the documentation on the git site
Git documentation
One thing to add to the other answers:
While a centralized workflow (with one "central" Git repository) is off course possible, you need to keep in mind Git organizes its data differently (as a all, looking into the data content to infer various property, like file rename). See this answer for more differences between Svn and Git.
One consequence is that you should not necessarily consider having just one Git central repository, but several, especially if you have many group of files with different and independent history (they evolve each at their own pace).
SVN can store all those different group in one repository and can branch or tag whatever part it wants (it is just a matter of copying what you need in a "directory" representing a branch or a tag). Git branch and tag at the repository level.
If your set of files is quite coherent, you can have one Git central repo, but if you have several components, may be several "central" Git repos are better.
Just set up a centralised repo that everyone pushes to and pulls from.
Just because git has no concept of a central or preferred repo, that doesn't mean you can't designate one to be so by convention among your team.
Absolutely - you can set up central (bare) GIT repositories that can be used as a central point. Or use something like GitHub.
With GIT it's more a matter of getting your process set up to use it as you wish.
