Starting a git repository?
First setup the remote repository:
ssh git@example.com cd repos # you shouldn't use the base user directory for good reasons -- See SshGen page mkdir my_project.git cd my_project.git git init --bare git update-server-info # If planning to serve via HTTP exit
On your local machine:
cd [your project directory] git init git add * git commit -m "My initial commit message" git remote add origin git@example.com:repos/my_project.git git push -u origin master
Others can now clone track the remote repository:
git clone git@example.com:repos/my_project.git cd my_project
