title: Accessing a local git repo via http
body: <p>I am completely new to git VCS. I managed to set up a local git repository in my computer. Instead of pushing all the code to github or related sites, I am planning to make my computer as a server. I have a couple of other machines too. I need to access /clone the local repo to these machines. What I have done till now:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>installed apache http server </li>
  <li>Created a git repo </li>
  <li>Mapped the git repo to apache  http by adding the entry to httpd.conf</li>
  <li>I am able to access my git repo in my browser using :mycomputer.mydomain.com(i cannot disclose the name as i am in corporate network)</li>
  <li>The url "mycomputer.mydomain.com" lists a folder 'XYZ' which is the folder in which i gave :
  <strong>git --bare init</strong> using the command line</li>
  <li>Other people in my domain are also able to access the git repo through ip  in their respective browsers</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The issue is when I try to clone the repo using :</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone mycomputer.mydomain.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>fatal repository 'mycomputer.mydomain.com' not found. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Am I missing something?</p>
