Dear list,
I need to create git repos on a remote server by the command executed on that server
through ssh as
` ` ` ` `
git --bare init project_name.git

How can I also add the master branch, so that users don't need to
execute [ git push origin master ] ?
Thanks
I am not sure what you are trying to do, however, you seems to be
confusing what is at the server with what a client, who clones from it
is doing.
Having got a bare repository, you just push your existing local master
branch to it
git push (repository url) master:master
That is what creates the master branch.
People can clone from it and in that case, they will get an origin
branch that is mapped to this repositories master. I am not entirely
sure, but I think they get setup with data in their .git/config file
which allows them to just git push origin. If not you can easily add
"names" where to push stuff to using the git remote command.
For instance, I use
git push public
on some of my repositories to push my local changes to both git hub AND
a local repository (created just like you did) for my redmine instance
to access. the .git/config file has something like the following in it
[remote "public"]
url = github:akc42/MBBall.git
url = hweb:redmine/git/mbball.git
push = master:master
push = sqlite:sqlite
In this case I am pushing TWO branches to TWO repositories. github: and
hweb: are aliases for a more complicated URL that is set up inside
.ssh/config - which in turn has the following in it
Host hweb
HostName avalon.hartley-consultants.com
User www-data
IdentityFile ~/mydocs/PCinfo/keys/hartley-web/hartley_web
Host github
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/mydocs/PCinfo/keys/github/github_ssh_access
