How to clone a folder of shared drive and push locally through git
<p>I am a newbie of GIT and I want to clone a folder on shared drive, say shared\folder, to a local directory, say local\folder. First, I initialize the repository:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; cd shared\folder
&gt; git init
&gt; git add -A
&gt; git commit -m "message"
&gt; git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead
</code></pre>

<p>and then I clone the folder</p>

<pre><code>&gt; cd local\folder
&gt; git clone 'shared\folder'
</code></pre>

<p>and then I use sourcetree to add the local\folder as a working repository. Everything works just fine, I can push the local change to the shared\folder.
However, most of my colleagues don't use git and they change the file directly on the shared\folder. I can't pull the changes from the shared\folder. Is there any possible way to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.</p>
