Moving git repo from github to another location with ssh access

We have git repo at github ( and would like to move onto some our corporate box inside our network, for example on internal.bokov.net. This repository is shared for group of developers and all who have ssh access onto internal.bokov.net shall have right to commits onto git repository. So first of all prepare place for git repo at new hosting :
ssh user@internal.bokov.net cd var mkdir git_repo chmod 777 git_repo cd git_repo mkdir my_project cd my_project git init --bare --shared=all cd objects chmod g+ws *

Next clone existing repo and change its settings to point onto internal.bokov.net
git clone --bare git@github.com:bokov/github_project.git git remote add -t master -m master origin ssh://internal.bokov.net/var/git_repo/my_project/ git push origin master

to start work with new repo just use
git clone ssh://internal.bokov.net/var/git_repo/my_project/

have fun.

Ubuntu doesn’t asking for login after boot up ( may happen after unexpected shutdown ) :
press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login in terminal mode and use fsck to fix it

Add user short memo :[root@my-box ~]# useradd -g users -u 560 tuser [root@my-box ~]# passwd tuser
ps. sudo will be required in not-root case

Proper access rights for .ssh files :chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts

List all files in folder sorted by size : find . -type f -exec du -k "{}" \; | sort -n
