GIT - '~/repo.git/' is not a git command

I have a problem with with remote git repo and local repo (using SmartGit).

I'm creating remote repo on my server via ssh:

> cd ~
> git init repo.git
> cd repo.git
> touch readme
> git add .
> git commit -m "Initial commit"

From here everything seems perfect. Now I'm trying to clone repo using Smartgit with command

ssh://user@server:22/~/repo.git

Everything is cloning well. I make changes in readme file, saving it and trying to commit and push and getting error:

The remote end hang up unexpectedly
git: '~/repo.git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'

What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Use:

GIT_TRACE=2 git push origin master

and see what is happening to debug the issue.

Update:

It is trying git-receive-pack

Try doing below:

git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack"

And then do the push again.

Other things you can try:

On the remote server setup a bare repo:

git init --bare

And then try cloning and pushing to it.

I'd suggest using the full path instead of the home shortcut (~), e.g., git clone ssh://user@server/home/tuergeist/repo

This works for me on linux and also on WindowsXP in a git bash.

You also should obmit the .git extension, this may confuse your tools, as it expects a bare repository. (But I'm not sure)

You don't need to specify port 22; that's the default port for SSH. Also, SSH is the default if you specify user@server:path.

Try cloning with just...

user@server:~/repo.git

instead.
