<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you for the advice, which got me on the right track. I think those commands probably would have worked as-is, but my ideal state was having RANCID’s local git workspace wire directly back to my git server
*<b>only</b>* and not also push to the local ($CVSROOT) git repo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So my steps were the following, picking up after the “</span>sudo -H -u rancid /mnt/rancid/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs<span style="color:#1F497D">” command:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">1) Create new empty ‘rancid-<group>’ repository on my (external) master git server (Atlassian Bitbucket, in my case).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2) Create ‘rancid’ user on my master git server, and give it read/write permission to the new repo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">3) Store ‘rancid’ user git credentials on my RANCID server, which requires a temporary clone that is then immediately deleted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git config --global user.name “rancid”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git config --global user.email “rancid@<mydomain>”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git config --global credential.helper store<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git clone
<a href="https://rancid@%3cmy-git-server%3e/scm/rancid-%3cgroup%3e.git">https://rancid@<my-git-server>/scm/rancid-<group>.git</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">(enter ‘rancid’ user passwords when prompted)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid rm -rf rancid-all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">4) Re-wire RANCID’s git workspace to the master git server, instead of its local git server/repo. Uses my particular RANCID installation path and group name (“all”).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">cd /mnt/rancid/rancid/var/all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git remote set-url origin https://rancid@<my-git-server>/scm/rancid-all.git<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git push -u origin --all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">sudo -H -u rancid git push origin --tags<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">At this point, I made a change to a network device, waited for my next cron execution of rancid-run, and then observed the changes in my master git repo, so I believe it was all working well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
