Using your computer as a proxy and avoiding downloading the information to your computer are mutually exclusive goals. At any rate, git doesn't support this kind of operation. If you want to move data from A to B, you need to push from A or fetch from B (or fetch from A to C and then push from C to A). cmn [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 490 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

You could solve it with netcat and ssh like: # forward port 5001 on our local box to ssh on the "source" box nc -lp 5001 -c 'nc $source 22' & # forward port 5001 on the destination box to our local forward, # and then start the clone ssh -R 5001:localhost:5001 $dest \ 'git clone ssh://localhost:5001/path/to/repo' If the repository is accessible by http, then you can easily tweak it to forward to port 80. If, for some reason, you prefer push rather than fetch, you can create the tunnels in the reverse direction. -Peff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

First, you can set up either SSH tunnel (for SSH transport), or HTTP proxy (`http_proxy`[1] environment variable or `http.proxy` config variable[2] for HTTP transport, both smart and dumb), or git proxy (`core.gitproxy`, e.g. netcat or ssh, for git:// protocol) Second, you can configure repository using hooks so that pushing to said intermediate repository would push to destination repository. In this solution you would have repository on disk on intermediate machine, but you can avoid manual transfer to and from intermediate machine.
