You can try this:

on Server:

adding new group to /etc/group like (example)

mygroup:1001:michael,nir

create new git repository:

mkdir /srv/git
cd /srv/git
mkdir project_dir
cd project_dir
git --bare init (initial git repository )
chgrp -R mygroup objects/ refs/ (change owner of directory )
chmod -R g+w objects/ refs/ (give permission write)

on Client:

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
touch .gitignore
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin youruser@yourserver.com:/path/to/my_project.git
git push origin master

(Thanks Josh Lindsey for client side)

after Client, do on Server this commands:

cd /srv/git/project_dir
chmod -R g+w objects/ refs/

If got this error after git pull:

There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details

git pull  
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

git branch --set-upstream new origin/

try:

git push -u origin master

It will help.
