I need help in setting up a bare git repo on an apache web server. I followed the below instructions
$ cd /var/www/htdocs/
$ git clone --bare /path/to/git_project gitproject.git
$ cd gitproject.git
$ mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update
$ chmod a+x hooks/post-update
I got these instructions from here
http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols.
I try to run
git clone "http://ip-addr/gitproject.git"
, but am not successful and neither the push command works. Do you have any suggestions on what to do next.
At least try it without the double-quotes:
git clone http://ip-addr/gitproject.git
And if it still hangs, check the log of your Apache server, to see if it is contacted at all.

I'm trying to clone a repository the ssh way from github and another form gitlab
I'm on windows EDIT : with Git v 2.29.2.2
I'm getting the following error, which I do not understand from what it is coming from :
$ git clone git#github.com:math-gallou/AI21_TPs.git
Cloning into 'AI21_TPs'...
git: 'git#github.com' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
So I also tried :
$ git clone "ssh://git#github.com:math-gallou/AI21_TPs.git"
and
$ git clone ssh://git#github.com:math-gallou/AI21_TPs.git
But the same exact error comes out.
When I do the ssh -v git#github.com I can connect with success.
So what did I miss ?
First, if you are trying the ssh:// syntax, then the URL would be:
git clone ssh://git#github.com/math-gallou/AI21_TPs.git
^^^ /, not :
Second, check if you have a %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config file with a github.com Host entry in it, whose content might be incorrect or mis-interpreted.
In my case, I defined system environment variable GIT_SSH to use openssh I installed, and then git is broken and I got git: 'git#github.com' is not a git command. See 'git --help'..
After deleting system environment variable GIT_SSH everything works again.
Then I tried to define user environment variable GIT_SSH and restart system (I didn't restart system in previous try), somehow now my git works correctly with openssh I installed. I don't know which part is wrong in my previous try but I decide not to waste more time on this.
I have a Windows PC with git installed. Whenever I start git bash, it always stands at /c/Users/_user with the master branch as below: user#DESKTOP-VE8378L MINGW64 ~ (master)
I guess it should look like user#DESKTOP-VE8378L MINGW64 ~
I had a look at people around, found out that they don't have (master) at their first start using git bash. I checked git repo at where I stand with git remote -v but there is nothing.
I tried git status but there is also nothing to help.
maybe you created a git repository in your home directory?
Do you have a .git directory in your home?
If that's the case you should move that repository in a different directory, or delete the .git direcotory if it was created by mistake.
My network from work doesn't let me clone any repository via Windows Git tool by command line git clone therefore I just download the repository.
My problem now is, I need to checkout by git checkout ###### but I cannot figure out how I can do that on my Windows 7. I have installed GitBash tool and Git Desktop, but as I said my network doesn't allow me to do much.
Option 1: local clone
Making a local clone should be your easiest option: it does not involve clone anything from the web so your administrator rules might allow it.
I'll assume you downloaded the remote into workspace/downloaded-bare.git:
cd workspace
git clone downloaded-bare.git sandbox
now you should be ready to work in workspace/sandbox.
Option 2: turn the bare into a working sandbox
If the local clone does not work, you can do the equivalent steps manually:
mkdir sandbox
cp -ar downloaded-bare.git sandbox/.git
cd sandbox
git init
and again, sandbox is now ready for normal work.
I have a Windows PC with git installed. Whenever I start git bash, it always stand at /c/Users/_user with master branch as below:
NativeKiwi#nkiwi MINGW64 ~ (master)
I think it should look like this:
NativeKiwi#nkiwi MINGW64 ~
I had a look at people around, found out that they don't have (master) at their first start using git bash. I checked git repo at where I stand with git remote -v but there is nothing.
The string shown in your prompt depends on your PS1 environment variable.
Please check your .bash_profile or .bashrc　for the configuration of PS1 environment variable.
I had the same issue (due to running git init) in the wrong directory and fixed it by running rm -rf .git in that directory.
You are seeing master because you created a git repository at the current path using the git init command. Always create git repositories in the folders containing project files. Consider running rm -rf .git command.
I have installed gitolite on windows server using cygwin, installation steps went without problems and when I try to "ssh gitadmin#gitserver info" from local machine(windows) I get the correct response:
hello gitoliteAdmin, this is gitadmin#VRGWLSDEV1T running gitolite3 v3.6.1-6-gdc
8b590 on git 1.9.4.msysgit.0
R W gitolite-admin
R W testing
If I try to clone using Git Bash I get error:
$ git clone gitadmin#gitserver:gitolite-admin
Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
git: 'shell' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean this?
help
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
If I try to clone using cygwin terminal on local mashine (using the same ssh key and I get the same valid gitolite message) it returns:
$ git clone gitadmin#gitserver:gitolite-admin.git
Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
...and stays like that for enternity!
I have searched for multiple solutions, added PATH (with Git etc.) to .bashrc and .bash_profile files on gitolite designated server. Also added PATH to .gitolite.rc to include custom Git installation path (before that I did not recieve the gitolite message)
If you have any solution or idea what did I do wrong: please....HELP.
Resolved it by myself:
Mysis Git installation was confusing Cygwin. Added Git pack to Cygwin and removed Msys Git env. variables: everything woks perfectly now.
