So I think I am confused - but for some reason I cannot push or pull to my git repository.
I have a linux web server and have a web folder in /var/www/bcs.net.nz/
I did a git init bcs.git in this folder (I have also tried .git)
and then I thought I could do git clone git@bcs.net.nz:bcs.git to clone it on the local machine or git push on the remote machine.
I have also added a git remote add origin git@bcs.net.nz:bcs.git on the remote machine.
After all of that I still cannot push and pull anything. I am a bit stuck.
git add . & git commit -m "initial commit" work fine.
git clone git@bcs.net.nz:bcs.git would mean to clone a (preferably bare repo) which is in /home/git/bcs.git
You could initialize one there, (git init --bare /home/git/bcs.git), and add a post-receive hook (chmod 755 /home/git/bcs.git/hooks/post-receive) which will checkout the code in the live server folder
#!/bin/sh
git --work-tree=/var/www/bcs.net.nz --git-dir=/home/git/bcs.git checkout -f
