[rancid] Git.. first time config

[Jeff MacDonald]

Hi,

I find the docs
 lacking and I’m trying to set rancid up with git.

Do I just

- ensure all ssh keys are in place
- do a clone of a repo I’ve already created and then point CVSROOT to the .git directory inside my clone
- set RCSSYS to git
- run rancid-cvs

?

create empty and git add router.db and dir configs

- set RCSSYS to git
- run rancid-cvs

this won't do anything; it does not support remote repos.

Thanks, all good.

I got this in my logs

fatal: No configured push destination.
Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using

Indicting that remote repos are supported by Git. So I’m a bit confused by your statement.

rancid-cvs does not support remotes - meaning that to use a remote you must
do what rancid-cvs would have. same for cvs and svn.
