Git push error '[remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)'

Question

Yesterday, I posted a question on how to clone a Git repository from one of my machines to another, How can I \'git clone\' from another machine?.

I am now

Answer 1

The best way to do this is:

mkdir ..../remote
cd ..../remote
git clone --bare .../currentrepo/

This will clone the repository, but it won't make any working copies in .../remote. If you look at the remote, you'll see one directory created, called currentrepo.git, which is probably what you want.

Then from your local Git repository:

git remote add remoterepo ..../remote/currentrepo.git

After you make changes, you can:

git push remoterepo master
