Hi,

I want to make a public repository. I followed the instructions in gitcore-tutorial. I typed "GIT_DIR=my-git.git git init" per instruction. But, I got command not found. I do not think this is the correct command. How should I do? I use C-Shell.

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

%mkdir my-git.git
%GIT_DIR=my-git.git git init

GIT_DIR=my-git.git: Command not found.


Thank you,


Gary

Instead you can do:

  $ git --git-dir=my-git.git init

The --git-dir option does the same thing that GIT_DIR= was doing
in a Bourne shell.

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

inuxgit01 is the box I want to make public repository. At my own box, linux12, I ran the command, git push linuxgit01:/pub/git/u-boot.git master

What I did wrong?

Thanks.

Never mind. I figured it out. I need to cd to u-boot.git (my local git repository, the run the command, git push linuxgit01:/pub/git/u-boot.git master.
