Gitosis / Gitolite would be needed only if there are many people that you want to have SSH access to git repositories without giving them all shell access...

...but in your situation it would be anough to have on server (i.e. on computer you want to push to) to have sshd and git installed, and have sshd enabled (turned on) and git available in your $PATH on server.

Then

  git push <user>@<host>:/path/to/repo.git <branch>

should work (or you can configure remote).
