Problems pushing???

Hi,
  I have installed git locally to my machine.  It is running mac os lion. 
This is intended to be the remote machine too. I have followed, what I think
is the correct way to do this, using 
http://www.petermac.com/setup-git-local-and-remote-repositories/ this .  All
seemed to be ok until I tried to push.  When I try the following command.

git push --all --repo=<project>

I get the following output

Counting objects: 12, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (11/11), done.
Writing objects: 100% (12/12), 5.23 KiB, done.
Total 12 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master
remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare
repository
remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree
inconsistent
remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to
match
remote: error: the work tree to HEAD.
remote: error: 
remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration
variable to
remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing
into
remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless
you
remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in
some
remote: error: other way.
  
Hope someone can help with this because I have spent a bit of time trying to
solve this and still stuck!!!

Thanks for your time,
 Paul
