I have installed git for windows but i didn't installed nothing in the other remote machine (NAS Linux based). I open git-bash and I try do this: "git clone user@IP:/directory/where/i/want/clone". This doesnt work because I obtain "sh: git-upload-pack: command not found". I search in google and I found a possible solution, I need add -u /path/to/git-upload-pack. When i try again writing git clone -u /c/Git/mingw64/bin/git-upload-pack user@IP:/directory/where/i/want/clone After I Write the password I obtain sh: C:/Git/mingw64/bin/git-upload-pack: No such file or directory. But it exists! (in my local computer windows) I'm newbie with Git and Unix system. What can i do ? Thanks a lot! ``` ## Randall S.

You have two choices: 1. Install git on your LINYX machine, which you probably can't do if it's a pure NAS outside of your control. 2. Run everything off Windows as git in local mode. Mount the NAS as a windows drive. In a command terminal: a. cd X:\Share\repo.git #you'll have to mkdir this b. git init --bare #creates a new empty repo on your NAS c. cd C:\MyStuff #where you keep your clones d. git clone -l X:\Share\repo.git #clone the bare repository e. Start adding stuff (git add, git commit) f. git push # to move commits to your NAS repo. Then you have your relationship and can push/pull from your NAS entirely from within Windows executing objects. Change directories and drive letters accordingly. -l means local, so git won't be starting any git-upload-pack processes remotely. Variations on this should work. Good luck.

You need a Git on the remote side. Otherwise Git will not be able to clone from there.

Once it was created i went to the local machine and i wrote: git clone user@ip:/my/path/in/the/server/git I put my files, add and commit to the new git repository created by git clone. Now i can use git push to commit the changes into the server Thanks you very much!!!!!!!!!!!
