git-daemon: Launch a Git daemon with a whitelisted set of directories.
$ git daemon --export-all ${path-to-directory1} ${path-to-directory2}
try on your machine
The command "git daemon --export-all" is used to start a Git server process that serves the repositories at the specified directory paths.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "git daemon": This is the command to start the Git server.
- "--export-all": This option tells the server to export all repositories in the specified directories. This means that all repositories will be accessible to clients without the need for authentication.
- "${path-to-directory1} ${path-to-directory2}": These are the directory paths where the repositories are located. You would replace "${path-to-directory1}" and "${path-to-directory2}" with the actual paths to the directories on your system.
When you run this command, the Git daemon will start and serve the repositories located in the specified directories. Clients can then access these repositories using the Git protocol (git://) followed by the server's hostname or IP address.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
