Commit changes to remote repository

[ruperty <rupert@moonsit.co.uk>]

Being new to git I am probably not doing things correctly so pointers in the
right direction would be useful.

What I want to do make changes on my laptop and commit them to a remote
repository. Here is what I have done,

1. Created a repository on my remote linux host, in a folder of cource code,
by,

   git init
   git add *
   git commit

2. On my laptop I did a git clone pointing by ssh to the remote repo which
downloaded all the files to my local system.

3. I changed a file locally and did a commit.

4. I then wanted to update the remote repo with my change, which I did with
a git push, but that didn't work, getting this error,

    remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch:
refs/heads/master^[[K
    remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare
repository^[[K.......


What am I doing wrong?

I was following the tutorial at
http://book.git-scm.com/3_distributed_workflows.html

I did search for this issue in this list but didn't understand the
responses.
