git push issue

[Aubrey]

Hi all,

I followed the instruction of here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html
to publish my work.
But I run into a problem when I run the command "git push", see below:
======================================================
aubrey@linux:~/public_html/u-boot.git> git push
10.99.22.20:/home/aubrey/public_html/my-git.git master
Password:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: dst refspec master does not match any existing ref on the
remote and does not start with refs/.
fatal: unexpected EOF
======================================================
The remote machine is in the same subnet as mine.
Many thanks to your help.

Regards,
-Aubrey

The error message tells you that

 (1) directory you are in (u-boot.git) does not have a ref that
     matches "master".  Do you have the "master" branch?

 (2) remote repository at 10.99.22.20:/home/.../my-git.git does
     not have a ref that matches "master".

The problem on your end must be fixed first.  Then once you have
the master branch in u-boot.git directory (I presume
~/public_html/u-boot.git/.git/refs/heads/master would be the
file you would need to see), then the problem on the other end
needs to be dealt with.

If you are creating a branch over there afresh, you need to
spell it out, like this:

	$ git push 10.99..:.../my-git.git master:refs/heads/master

After you have done that once (hence creating
/home/aubrey/public_html/my-git.git/.git/refs/heads/master file
over there), you can do the command line I quoted at the
beginning of this message.

Thanks a lot.
Now git push is OK.
Is it time to try to clone the git repository from the remote machine to my end?
I have started up the git-daemon, but still get the following error:
============================================================
 git clone git://10.99.22.20:/home/aubrey/public_html/my-git.git git-test
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)
clone-pack from 'git://10.99.22.20:/home/aubrey/public_html/my-git.git' failed.

If I want to clone it by http:// or git://, Could you please give me
some instructions or docs?

Thanks a million.

OK. I help myself out.
It's not complex to put own work on a web server. And it works on my
end. Because git:// or rsync:// need the port which it's possibly
unaccessible behind a firewall. I think it's good enough so far to use
http connection.
