I need to migrate a Linux server that I’m going to be sunsetting shortly. I’m not a git user but on server1 I have in say /opt/repos/git a couple dozen projects app fooX.git. If I scp overnight when nobody’s using it and endusers get the new IP, make a new git user on the remote server, chown -R git:git /opt/repos/git it would be a smooth migration? Or am I missing something? Will this get all revisions and comments and history?

Thank

It can be smooth migration, because you'll transfer all data in repositories, but not access-level settings: Git-repos can be accessed by using http(s) or ssh and both protocols require special and different configuration.

chown -R git:git /opt/repos/git will have useful effect only in case of access-type of "shared ssh-user", which isn't common case
