Details on how to move new Git project onto my git server so I can use this as a central location for my work.

With an existing new project (we will use ‘tc’) which is already under git do the following in the directory above the project

• ensure the project has no pending work. git status should show nothing outstanding
• move to folder above the project

• clone the project (in this case we will clone tc to make tc.git)

    git clone --bare tc/.git tc.git
  

• move the clone to the git server

    scp -r tc.git deploy@little-un:/srv/git/
  

• I have to do this as the deploy user (my Git user does not have sufficient rights) so I need to ssh to the server cd to /srv/git and change ownership

  sshlun

    little-un > cd /srv/git/
    little-un > sudo chown -R git:git tc.git
  

Now we dump the local repo and clone a new one from the remote one.

cd ..
mv tc tc.old
git clone git@little-un:/srv/git/tc.git
