How to setup a private git repository?
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and created a git server and gave some users access to one repos I created. I have trouble to download the repos using open SSH through command line, no putty nothing.
I am using this command to download the repos called training :
ssh://:22/srv/git/training.git and I tried a lot like
ssh://:22/srv/git/training.git training Using this tutorial : ted felix git server
The error I get is this :
fatal: '/srv/git/training/training' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.My suggestion is, that my repos is not setup correctly.
or I made a mistake with this ssh keys. Any Ideas? I can provide all information you need, just let me know what's missing.
EDIT : It works using the command line (git bash) ... intereseting

From git-scm
Now, you can set up an empty repository for them by running git init with the --bare option, which initializes the repository without a working directory:
You can create a bare repo with:
`git init --bare <project name>`Transforming a normal repo into a bare repo is not that hard, you can your best answer on StackOverflow
