Set up a git remote through WebDav on an online drive
To set up a Git remote repository using WebDAV on an online drive, you can follow these general steps:
Choose an online drive provider that supports WebDAV. Some popular options include Box, OwnCloud, Nextcloud, or a self-hosted WebDAV server.
Set up an account and configure the online drive service to enable WebDAV access. Refer to the provider's documentation for specific instructions on how to enable and configure WebDAV.
Create a new repository or navigate to an existing repository on your local machine using Git. Make sure you have Git installed and properly configured.
Add a remote to your local Git repository pointing to the WebDAV URL of the online drive. Use the following command:
bashgit remote add origin https://webdav-url/repository-name
Replace
https://webdav-url/repository-name
with the actual WebDAV URL provided by your online drive service, followed by the desired repository name.Push your local repository to the remote WebDAV repository using the following command:
bashgit push -u origin master
This pushes the local
master
branch to the remote repository on the online drive.Enter your credentials when prompted to authenticate with the online drive service via WebDAV.
With these steps, you should have successfully set up a Git remote repository using WebDAV on your online drive. Make sure to consult the documentation of your specific online drive provider for any additional configuration details or authentication requirements.
