I have a webapp I’ve built on my local machine that I want to deploy. I’ve been using a private repo on Gitlab.com where I push my changes.
After installing git using apt-get install git-core, I’m trying to make a clone my repo, but am getting this error:
fatal: https://gitlab.com:myusername/myapp.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
When I run git update-server-info, I get the error: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
What am I missing here?

As it turns out, that was just git-speak for the repo not being found, and that there was a typo.
