====== multiple users with a public repository ======

===== file based repository =====
  * start a new project or change to an existing project
  * initialize a personal git repo
  * clone this repo to a bare repo, and move it to a public place<code>
	git clone --bare /path/to/myproject sharedfoldername
</code>
  * either (1) set the public repo up as a remote in the personal repo, or (2) remove the original project directory, and clone the new bare repository

**(1)**
<code>
git remote add origin /Volumes/Seagate-1/gitbackup/Autofill/
</code>

You also need to tell git you have a master branch, and where to pull from.  Add these to your .gitconfig:<code>
[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master
</code>

**(2)**
<code>
rm -Rf myproject
git clone /path/to/sharedfoldername myproject
</code>
  * now use git fetch, git merge, and/or git pull
