The command, "git --git-dir=my-git.git init" works. But, I got another error.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man7/gitcore-tutorial.html

The document says that, Your "public repository" is now ready to accept your changes. Come back to the machine you have your private repository. From there, run this
        command:
 
            $ git push <public-host>:/path/to/my-git.git master

However, I got "fatal: Not a git repository" error. Do you have any idea?

git push linuxgit01:/pub/git/u-boot.git master fatal: Not a git repository

inuxgit01 is the box I ran the command, "git --git-dir=u-boot.git init".

Thanks,

Gary
