Create a git repository with gitolite and push an existing local repository to it

I have a local new-repo folder with a git in it that I want to publish in gitolite on my server.

On my server I created a new git repository new-repo in the admin as root with this section:

[group developers]
writable = old-repo new-repo
members = me@myhost

and pused it, but I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gitosis-serve", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('gitosis==0.2', 'console_scripts', 'gitosis-serve')()

    return app.main()

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gitosis/gitdaemon.py", line 79, in set_export_ok
    assert ext == '.git'
AssertionError
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

there isn't added any new repo in my gitolite folder and I cannot push to it.

What am I doing wrong?

(I use gitosis still, so maybe is gitosis so outdated by now, that it doesn't work anymore like gitolite?)

Solution

I did everything correct.

The problem was visible due to the line:

assert ext == '.git'

A few days ago I diabled a repo by renaming it int some_repo.git_old

so there was a repo in my folder that didn't end with .git

I renamed it

mv some_repo.git_old some_repo_old.git

and now those errormessages are gone.

Also I had to add -u origin master to my first push message:

git remote add origin [email protected]:new-repo.git
git push -u origin master
