Git存储库 - 如何克隆/home/user/.git

Question

I've got a website on a VPS and I'd like to create an offline clone using Git.

So what I did on my VPS:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "comment"

Which created a .git folder. I am not sure now how I am supposed to continue in order to clone the git repository to my local machine.

I've tried using: git clone ssh://user@IP/home/user/.git but I get the following messages:

fatal: '/home/user/.git' does not appear to be a git repository 
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Can you please let me know what I am missing here?

Answer 1

you should just "ignore" the existence of the .git directory:

git clone ssh://user@IP:/home/user/

should do the trick (if ssh user@IP works of course).

NOTE: not sure it's a good idea to make your whole "user" directory a git repository. using a subdirectory is probably a good idea.

EDIT: in this case file permissions were also an issue in copying files from a linux pc to a windows pc...
