There is loads of documentation and posts on Git out there so this is more of a note to self as I keep forgetting the steps to setting up a remote repository and doing an initial ‘push’.
So, firstly setup the remote repository:
ssh git@example.com
mkdir my_project.git
cd my_project.git
git init --bare
git-update-server-info # If planning to serve via HTTP exit
On local machine:
cd my_project
git init
git add *
git commit -m "My initial commit message"
git remote add origin git@example.com:my_project.git
git push origin master
Done!
Team members can now clone and track the remote repository using the following:
git clone git@example.com:my_project.git
