I am rescuing a disk that has a Gogs installation. There's a folder with all the git repos stores, they individually look like this:
drwxr-xr-x. 2 sardaukar 4.0K Jul 29 21:51 branches/
-rw-r--r--. 1 sardaukar 66 Jul 29 21:51 config
-rw-r--r--. 1 sardaukar 73 Jul 29 21:51 description
-rw-r--r--. 1 sardaukar 23 Jul 29 21:51 HEAD
drwxr-xr-x. 2 sardaukar 4.0K Jul 29 21:51 hooks/
drwxr-xr-x. 2 sardaukar 4.0K Jul 29 21:51 info/
drwxr-xr-x. 4 sardaukar 4.0K Jul 29 21:51 objects/
-rw-r--r--. 1 sardaukar 98 Jul 29 21:51 packed-refs
drwxr-xr-x. 4 sardaukar 4.0K Jul 29 21:51 refs/
Is there a way I can salvage this and clone these repos again? I have around 20 of them. Not looking to go back to Gogs, just want to be able to clone these repos again...
Thanks for any help!
What you have rescued is a so-called bare repository which is the content of the hidden .git folder in your clone. Just save this directory on a computer with openssh running, say you save it to ~/repo with ~ being the home of the user user, you can clone with:
git clone user@<your-computer>:~/repo
your-computer is the computer with the ssh server running, if you clone on the same computer write localhost here.
EDIT (Thanks to Don Branson): If you are cloning your local machine, you can also write:
git clone /path/to/repo
