+Ad-hoc serving of git repositories

+:summary: Ad-hoc serving of git repositories
+
+On some occasion you want to serve your git repo from your local copy (perhaps
+your git repository is quite large and your internet connection is slow or your
+build process would benefit from pulling from an intermediary without
+authentication). Here are 2 ways to serve your git repository without any
+configuration or software installation. Both ways serve a single repository
+without authentication or encryption but readonly (no push).
+
+Using the git protocol
+----------------------
+
+The git executable is itself a git server using the native git protocol. Inside
+the root of the repository run the following command
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    git daemon --reuseaddr --verbose  --base-path=. --export-all ./.git
+
+And on the client you can clone by running
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    git clone git://servername/ reponame
+
+
+Using the http protocol
+-----------------------
+
+This way serves the repo over HTTP using Python 2's SimpleHTTPServer. Run the
+following in the rot of the git repo
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    git update-server-info
+    cd .git
+    python -m SimpleHTTPServer
+
+And on the client clone by running
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    git clone http://servername:8000/ reponame
+
+
+Final words
+-----------
+
+I've added both ways as git aliases in my `rcfiles repo
