Hello Duy,

I've just replied by email. See below the message sent:

Thanks for your reply. Since this is my first visit to this mailing-list, I
don't know its etiquette rules yet. Is this the place to get help? Can I
post long messages? The whole story of setting up our Git server is quite
big... :-)

Anyway, follows below a list of some of the places where I've found the
instructions I've mentioned:

http://progit.org/book/ch4-0.html
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-public-git-repository-on-a-debian-server

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-daemon.html

Trying to make it short, the last attempt to push a local project to the
server produced the following results:

marcos@hp-laptop:~/teste_sem_bare$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

marcos@hp-laptop:~/teste_sem_bare$ ls
teste.txt

marcos@hp-laptop:~/teste_sem_bare$ git push origin master

Then I received a reply from Howard Miller:

(...)
You are trying to push to a repo that isn't bare. Not impossible but
problematic and you can't do it at all by default (as you have found).

Personally I would look at a central shared repo. You could just get an
account on (something like) GitHub or setup your own (something like
Gitosis).

Thanks again,

Marcos
