How to clone an external repository?

[Alexander Schleifer]

Hi,

how can I clone a foreign hosted repository to my SCM Manager controlled repository? For example I want to clone a repository from github into my own SCM Manager repository. So I can simply access it in my local network to save traffic to external repositories.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,
Just clone the existing git repository:

git clone https://github.com/username/repositoryname

Change the directory:

cd repositoryname

Create a repository on SCM-Manager and push the cloned repository:

git push http://your-scm-manager-host/scm/git/repositoryname master

Hi,

sorry for the late answer. The solution works fine, also when updating a previously created repository to the master of the source repository.
