I've set up my GIT repository on my server using the following in the appropriate folder (the root of my subdomain, git.mydomain.com):
mkdir foo.git
cd foo.git
git init --bare --shared
This would make the repository available by the URL git.mydomain.com/foo.git.
On my client, trying to push the commited files to the server using the following: mkdir foo
cd foo
git init
git remote add foo myUser@git.mydomain.com:foo.git
git add readme.txt
git commit -m "foo"
git push foo master
.. entering user password ..
Only results in:
fatal: 'foo.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
However, following a set of different guides, I seem to be unable to resolve this problem. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, please bear in mind that I'm quite green to GIT.
The line git remote add foo myUser@git.mydomain.com:foo.git assumes that the directory foo.git is in the home directory of the myUser user. You're much better off using an absolute path e.g. git remote add foo myUser@git.mydomain.com:/home/gitrepos/foo.git
If you're on a shared server, you can check your home path by executing:
echo $HOME
Which, in my case, yields:
home/u/01234/
If I've stored my repositories in the www/git/ folder in my home-path, the command might look something like this:
git remote add origin myUser@mydomain.com:/home/u/01234/www/git/foo.git
