无法在Amazon EC2服务器上使用Netbeans和GIT推送

Question

I'm pretty new on UNIX/GIT world.

I'm trying to setup a GIT repo on a Amazon EC2 Machine so I can work on my projects from different places with ease.

After some hours of work some things are ok, I managed to connect to the repo with my IDE (Netbeans) and clone the remote content.

The problem start when I try to push something to the remote repo, Netbeans give me an error and this output, with a generic error:

==[IDE]== 4-lug-2012 15.34.59 Pushing
git push ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:/var/www/myDir/        +refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master

Result : NOT_ATTEMPTED

==[IDE]== 4-lug-2012 15.35.02 Pushing finished.

I've read around about make the remote depo "bare", the git push succeed in this case but the file isn't updated anyway... what I'm missing?

Thanks for the help!

Is your EC2 instance also where your code is used for production? If so, then you'll need a bare repository on your EC2 instance to handle the commits and another git clone (of the bare repository) to provide your production code.

Work flow:

1. Set-up a bare repository on your EC2 instaance.
2. Clone this for your production code*
3. Clone this new repository to your local machine*
4. Code, Commit, Push. Repeat.
5. Configure a post-receive hook to automatically update your production (eg, pull)

*Obviously you don't want the pull to update your production with HEAD/master - so ensure that you've got a branch/tag for production or for development.
