Can't create a bare repository

Carlo· Jun 13, 2011, 15:29 UTC · lore

Hi, I'm just starting using Git and I want to use it mainly for web development. I'm following this guide:

http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto

(anyway, better suggestions are really appreciated) I'm at the point where I have to create a bare repository on the server, but when I give the command "git init --bare" I get this output:

usage: git-init [-q | --quiet] [--template=<template-directory>] [--shared]

It seems like it's not a valid command.

Any idea?

Time to upgrade your git from something that was released after May 28 of 2008. That was three years ago. :)
