How to create a git repository

To create a git repository, create a folder of the project name, like 'test'.

mkdir test

Then go into the folder with:

cd test

And run the below command

git --bare init

Now, go to your local machine, and run the below commands:

mkdir project
cd project
git init

And create your project files here.

git add .
git commit -am 'message'
git remote add origin ssh:user@ipaddress:/path_to_project
git push origin master

Then you can make a clone of your repository on your server machine now:

git clone user@ipaddress:/path_to_project
