creating a git repository from an existing project
Assuming a project in ~/myproject containing all sorts of files and directories
In the below example we use a local project called 'myproject' and upload it to the git server. - if the existing local 'myproject' isn't initialised with git yet, then do so now: $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "initial commit" - clone 'myproject' from your local project into a new local directory called 'myproject.git' $ git clone --bare myproject/ myproject.git - upload the new repository to the remote server $ scp -r myproject.git/ git@gitserver:/home/git (this will create the folder /home/git/myproject.git on the server) you may now clone the repository directly from the server into a local folder $ cd somedir $ git clone git@gitserver:myproject (the .git extension is not required) lastly, you may now remove the original 'myproject' dir locally
