10-5. Coworking without a central repos-
itory
Problem
You want to simulate the cooperation of two developers John and Sarah without a cent-
ral repository. In this case the coworking will be organized with two repositories:
•
10-05/johns-repo
—a non-bare repository of the first developer
•
10-05/sarahs-repo
—a non-bare repository of the second developer
Both developers will commit within their
master
branches. John will use the
sarah
branch to fetch Sarah's work and Sarah will use the
john
branch to fetch
John's work.
Hint
This recipe underlines the distributed nature of git where everyone can cooper-
ate with each other.
Solution
Create a new directory with:
$ cd git-recipes
$ mkdir 10-05
$ cd 10-05
