How to start git daemon on Windows
git, windows, windows-server-2008
Solution
Git for Windows 1.7.4 includes support for git daemon on windows which was missing in previous versions. To export your repository you will need to create a file called git-daemon-export-ok in the .git directory or include the --export-all command line option.
In a git repository run:`git daemon --export-all` and you can then connect to it from a remote machine eg: `git ls-remote git://yourmachine/path/to/repo`
Problem
How do I start the git daemon on Windows in order to allow it to begin serving requests? Seems like msysgit is supposed to install it as a Windows Service or something but I don't see one.
