Importing existing git repo into assembla

Question

Currently I have an website on a .zip file containing also the .git directory and all the history. I want it to be imported into an Assembla git repository preserving the history of all previous changes. Is there an easy way of doing it?

Answer 1

extract your zip, navigate to it in your shell, and do git push <git assembla url> : . this should push all the refs to the new assembla repo.

Answer 2

If you cannot push to an assembla repo, check your ssh keys, like in this thread .

ssh -v git@git.assembla.com

And see if there was not too much login errors in your tries:
