Hi, I can't reproduce the problem precisely, but I'm guessing you did not set up "origin" to be a *bare* repo.
You can't push to regular repos. Distributing changes between regular repos requires a strict fork-and-pull workflow, although cloning is also permitted. To set up a repo that you want to push to (analogous to a repo on GitHub) you need something like the following procedure: $ mkdir ~/my-project.git/ # Alongside the regular repo ~/my-project/ $ cd ~/my-project.git/ $ git init --bare $ cd ~/my-project/ $ git remote add origin ~/my-project.git/ $ git push origin master If the bare repo is on some other machine that you can ssh to instead of locally, the changes to make are reasonably obvious: my-git-server $ mkdir ~/my-project.git/ my-git-server $ cd ~/my-project.git/ my-git-server $ git init --bare my-local-box $ cd ~/my-project/ my-local-box $ git remote add origin my-git-server:my-project.git my-local-box $ git push origin master Creating and manipulating bare repos is basically how GitHub works under the hood. Everything else is just convenient bling-bling :) Kind regards, Tim On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 12:07:23AM -0700, Martin wrote: > Hi, All: > > > I created a repository on a home server.
