I am confused while creating a new git repository and pushing it to a ssh based git server.
What I did:
mkdir knowledge_base
cd knowledge_base
git init
( create some files )
git add <some files>
git commit -m 'initial'
until here all is perfect
now a do:
git remote add origin ssh://gitzfrdh@ex/home/gitzfrdh/gitrepos/knowledge_base
git push --set-upstream origin master
error:
fatal: '/home/gitzfrdh/gitrepos/knowledge_base' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Yes, I know that the repo did not exist. My idea is to push this new one.
Must I first create a bare repo on the server side?
EDIT: If I execute on the server:
mkdir knowledge_base
cd knowledge_base/
git init --bare
and on the client again a:
git push --set-upstream origin master
all works.
But I think it is not the intention to have a full excess on the server? I am wrong?
