Pushing a server by Git?

Question

I have tried the following command unsuccessfully:

git push 12.12.12.123:/proj.git master

It asks my password, but each time it rejects it.

I used the following commands to set up Git:

git --bare update-server-info
chmod a+x hooks/post-update

The last command gives me this error:

chmod: Cannot access 'hooks/post-update':No such file or directory

I am reading the tutorial .

[Edit]

I get the following error message after trying to push:

bash: git-receive-pack: command not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Answer 1

you need to do git init in your repo

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-init.html

Here is nice and quick tuturial: http://toolmantim.com/articles/setting_up_a_new_remote_git_repository

This is a bit longer once

In short to set up git:

$ ssh myserver.com
Welcome to myserver.com!
$ mkdir /var/git/myapp.git && cd /var/git/myapp.git
$ git --bare init
Initialized empty Git repository in /var/git/myapp.git
$ exit
Bye!

and you need ssh://12.12.12.123:/proj.git master

Answer 2

You might also need to add your username to the git command, eg masi@1.2.3.4:/proj.git. I think this is why you're getting a password error.

I don't believe the ssh:// is necessary.
