How to add a private Spec Repo for using private pods?

Question

I went through this tutorial http://guides.cocoapods.org/making/private-cocoapods.html but coun't get any hint like how to create it. Its just shows what would be the structure only.

On the other side if i try to run pod install this came. Here i am trying to install sample-pod (Private pod) to one of my local project.

siddarths-MacBook-P:PodInstallDemoApp siddarthchaturvedi$ pod install

Solution

You need to create your own Podspec repo which will contain your .podspec files.

Then use the following command to let CocoaPods know where your private repo is:

pod repo add <YourPivatePodsName> <YourPodRepoURL>

For Example:

pod repo add MyPrivatePods [email protected]:yourname/podspec.git

How can i mirror this structure. ├── Specs └── [SPEC_NAME] └── [VERSION] └── [SPEC_NAME].podspec like i have to create manually these folders in github online.

@kidsid49 Clone the repo using SourceTree, add folders and files and push.

Does anyone know the command to update your local private repo?

[Adam]

@WalterMartinVargas-Pena is pod repo update what you are looking for?

[Saty]

@Adam is that "MyPrivatePods" repo different from the one which we have created earlier and pushed our data to? if yes, then what things will be pushed to this private repo?

[Adam]

@Saty this repo contains only the podspec files. You create a folder for each pod and within that folder you create subfolder for each version. These subfolders contain the podspec files. See the public repo for an example.
