Why can't I push to this bare repository?

Question

Can you explain what is wrong with this workflow?

$ git init --bare bare
Initialized empty Git repository in /work/fun/git_experiments/bare/
$ git clone bare         


        

Answer 1

git push --all

is the canonical way to push everything to a new bare repository.

Another way to do the same thing is to create your new, non-bare repository and then make a bare clone with

git clone --bare

then use

git remote add origin 

in the original (non-bare) repository.
