Day 21: Set Up Git Repository on Storage Server | 100 Days of DevOps

Content:

Today I worked on setting up a Git repository on the storage server as requested by the Nautilus development team. This task was important to enable version control and collaboration for the upcoming application development project.

What I Learned

• How to install Git using yum on a CentOS-based system
• Difference between a normal repository and a bare repository

Steps I Followed :

1. Connected to Storage Server

ssh natasha@ststor01

2. Updated System Packages

sudo yum update -y

3. Installed Git

sudo yum install -y git

4. Created Bare Git Repository

sudo git init --bare /opt/cluster.git

My Understanding

This task helped me understand how a centralized Git repository is created for teams to push and pull code. A bare repository is essential in such scenarios because it doesn’t contain a working directory and is ideal for sharing code across multiple developers.

What I Found Interesting

I found it interesting that creating a central Git repository is very simple, yet it plays a crucial role in enabling collaboration and version control in real-world DevOps workflows.
