I'm using GitKraken. What's the easiest way to set my remote as a new, locally hosted git repo?

I'll help you set up a new locally hosted git repository as your remote in GitKraken. Let me first check your current project structure to understand your setup better.

I can see you already have a `.git` directory, which means this is already a git repository. Here's the easiest way to set up a new locally hosted git repository as your remote in GitKraken:
|
|
|
|
## Option 1: Using GitKraken GUI (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
1. **Create a new bare repository** (this will be your "remote"):
|
|
- Open GitKraken
|
|
- Click "Clone a repo" or "New" → "Bare repository"
|
|
- Choose a location (e.g., `C:\GitRepos\ProjectStructure.git` or wherever you want to host it)
|
|
- Name it something like `ProjectStructure.git`
|
|
|
|
2. **Add the local repository as a remote**:
|
|
- In your current repository in GitKraken
|
|
- Go to **Remotes** tab (usually in the left sidebar)
|
|
- Click **"Add Remote"**
|
|
- Name: `origin` (or whatever you prefer)
|
|
- URL: `C:\GitRepos\ProjectStructure.git` (use the full path to your bare repo)
|
|
|
|
3. **Push to the new remote**:
|
|
- After adding the remote, you can push your current branch to it
|
|
|
|
## Option 2: Using Command Line (Faster)
|
|
|
|
Let me check if you have any existing remotes first:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git remote -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PS A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\ProjectStructure> git remote -v
|
|
PS A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\ProjectStructure>
|
|
```
|
|
|

|

|
Great! You don't have any remotes configured yet. Here's the quickest way to set up a locally hosted git repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir C:\GitRepos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```

This is exactly the garbage that I want to automate.

I see the issue! You're dealing with the classic git ownership and history conflicts that happen when setting up local remotes. Let me create a script to automate this entire process for you.
