Install git package on your server (google install git server OS_NAME)
# ssh into your server and run the following commands:
$ sudo adduser git
$ su git
$ mkdir .ssh
#If you haven’t already done so already generate ssh keys on your local client machine:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C “your_email@example.com”
# Creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label
# Generating public/private rsa key pair.
# Enter file in which to save the key (/path_to_your_home_folder/.ssh/id_rsa): [Press enter]…
# copy contents of id_rsa.pub into memory
# back on your server server
$ vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
# press letter i and paste (CTRL + V or CMD +V)
# press : (colon) then type wq and enter
# Now it’s time to create some git repo(s) where you’ll push your code:
# Firstly, repo creation on your server:
$cd ~
$ mkdir project.git
$ cd project.git
$ git –bare init
# Back on your client create new git local repo:
$ mkdir project.git
$ cd project.git
$ git init
# Commit your current structure or files you add:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m ‘initial commit’
# add remote repo on your server so local git knows where to push:
$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin git@gitserver:/opt/git/project.git
$ git push origin master
Note: if you are logged in as different user than git on your client you’ll be asked for a password each time you push/fetch/pull from the server. You can set one by running on the server:
#sudo passwd git
Otherwise it should not prompt for any.
