Usually,\n/var/www/html/git/projectname.git.\n\n> I also did \"git init\" on the remote repo (not sure if that's necessary?).\n\nWhat is the correct path on the remote? Note that ssh://host/dir isn't\nthe same as host:dir (both are acceptable), as the latter means ~me/dir,\nwhile the former means /dir.\n\nYou could switch to the me@host:path location, or add a ~/:\nssh://me@host/~/dir\n\n-- \nLuciano Rocha \nEurotux Informática, S.A. \n"},{"id":"77869","messageId":"8345bd80805270842y5e495109x350ef378795ada27@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"13691","inReplyTo":"20080527151406.GA16378@bit.office.eurotux.com","subject":"Re: Invalid path on new Git installation","fromName":"Marcus","fromEmail":"prima@wordit.com","sentAt":"2008-05-27T15:42:41Z","receivedAt":"2008-05-27T15:42:41Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"prima@wordit.com","avatar":null},"body":"On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 4:14 PM, Luciano Rocha wrote:\n> What is the correct path on the remote?\n\nThe full path to the Git repo is:\n/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git\n\nI tried:\ngit clone ssh://admin@mydomain.com/~/git/projectname.git\n\nIt gives the same error.\n\nThanks,\n\nMarcus\n"},{"id":"77870","messageId":"483C2E1E.3040302@viscovery.net","threadId":"13691","inReplyTo":"8345bd80805270842y5e495109x350ef378795ada27@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Invalid path on new Git installation","fromName":"Johannes Sixt","fromEmail":"j.sixt@viscovery.net","sentAt":"2008-05-27T15:51:58Z","receivedAt":"2008-05-27T15:51:58Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"j6t@kdbg.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14810926?v=4"},"body":"Marcus schrieb:\n> On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 4:14 PM, Luciano Rocha wrote:\n>> What is the correct path on the remote?\n> \n> The full path to the Git repo is:\n> /home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git\n> \n> I tried:\n> git clone ssh://admin@mydomain.com/~/git/projectname.git\n> \n> It gives the same error.\n\nTry\n\ngit clone admin@mydomain.com:/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git\n\nor (assuming /home/admin is your home directory)\n\ngit clone admin@mydomain.com:mydomain.com/git/projectname.git\n\nor (if you can't live without the ssh: protocol specifier)\n\ngit clone \\\n ssh://admin@mydomain.com/home/admin/mydomain.com/git/projectname.git\n\n-- Hannes\n"}]}
