2009-12-01 11:47:56

On your slice;

1. Install git.

   sudo apt-get install git-core

2. Create an empty directory for your repository

   mkdir myrepo.git && cd myrepo.git

3. Initialize git

   git init

On your local machine

1. Create an empty directory for your repository

   > mkdir myrepo.git && cd myrepo.git

2. Initialize git

   git init

3. Add the remote repository as the origin

   git remote add origin ssh://server-domain/repo

   for my server the above command is

   git remote add origin ssh://bulkan-evcimen.com/home/bulkan/src/repo.git

4. Create a ignore file for the first push

   touch .gitignore

5. Add, commit

   git add .gitignore

   git commit -m "initial git commit"

6. Push your repo to the origin on slicehost

   git push origin master

That's it. Happy gitting.
