Serve up an ad-hoc git repo from your laptop

Ever wanted an Ad-Hoc git server to share some source?

Use this simple alias to serve it up on the spot:

[alias]
    serve = !git daemon --reuseaddr --verbose  --base-path=. --export-all ./.git

Then just run the following within a git repository.

git serve

Anybody can clone your repository with

git clone git://your.laptop.ip.or.hostname/
