Thank for your hints. I get "git push" work. The "git pull" need argument.

/d/workspace/git $ ls depot work1 work2

/d/workspace/git $ git clone --bare work1 depot Cloning into bare repository depot... done.

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master) $ git push fatal: No destination configured to push to.

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master) $ git pull fatal: No remote repository specified. Please, specify either a URL or a remote name from which new revisions should be fetched.

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master) $ git remote add origin ../depot

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master) $ git push Everything up-to-date

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master)
$ git pull
From ../depot
 * [new branch]      master     -> origin/master
You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me, either. Please
specify which branch you want to use on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details.

If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to use something like the following in your configuration file:

    [branch "master"]
    remote = <nickname>
    merge = <remote-ref>

    [remote "<nickname>"]
    url = <url>
    fetch = <refspec>

/d/workspace/git/work1 (master) $ git pull origin master:master Already up-to-date. 2011/11/4 Kirill Likhodedov <Kirill.Likhodedov@jetbrains.com>:
