Git ubuntu problems

Posted on December 25, 2013

Hey could anyone maybe write a tutorial on how to setup git server and client properly? i have done the tutorials of digital ocean but i cant seem to push back to server etc…

What im doing: I create a new folder (test) go to the folder then do git init i add some test files, add and commit them.

Locally i can clone the remote git but when i do changes and commit them locally and then try to push i get errors.

Counting objects: 3, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. Writing objects: 100% (2/2), 234 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 2 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require ‘git reset --hard’ to match remote: error: the work tree to HEAD. remote: error: remote: error: You can set ‘receive.denyCurrentBranch’ configuration variable to remote: error: ‘ignore’ or ‘warn’ in the remote repository to allow pushing into remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in some remote: error: other way. remote: error: remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set remote: error: ‘receive.denyCurrentBranch’ configuration variable to ‘refuse’. To ssh://root@myip/~/git/lsmts ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out) error: failed to push some refs to ‘ssh://root@myip/~/git/lsmts’

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!
