Failed to pushing files into newly created git repo
git, git-push
Solution
On the first machine, you created a non-bare repository, or a repository that has a working copy. Pushing to a non-bare repo can get a little exciting, so make sure that's actually what you want.
On the second machine, you created a new repository in the current directory (`git init`), then cloned `gitrepo` into a sub-directory as a second repo. Again, that's fine, just make sure it's what you wanted.
Here's how it would work with a bare repo on the first machine and one repo on the second:
First machine:
git init --bare gitrepo.git
Second machine:
git clone user@server:~/gitrepo.git
cd gitrepo
touch test
git add test
git commit -a
# '-u' tells git to track the remote master branch with your local master branch
git push -u origin master
Problem
Maybe a duplicate question, though I have tried to found out answers from existing questions but failed. I created a git repo on the server with command: ``` mkdir gitrepo cd gitrepo git init ``` Then from another machine I tried to push files to this repo but failed. ``` git init git clone user@server:~/gitrepo/.git cd gitrepo touch test git add test git commit -a ``` Util now, no error occurs. When I try to push the changes to the server, the following error occurs: ``` >git push No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing. Perhaps you should specify a branch such as 'master'. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly error: failed to push some refs to 'user@server:~/gitrepo/.git' ``` Anyone encountered this problem before? I found an blog which explains well the difference between non-bare and bare repo. http://www.bitflop.com/document/111 Those who gets the same problem may refer to this.
