When I create a new repo on my server I have been creating an empty directory, then git init, then git add some file and commit. I expect that is the long/wrong way to initialize a repo, especially if I want it to be bare. What is the best approach to creating a cloneable bare repo?
server$ mkdir /path/to/newrepo.git server$ cd /path/to/newrepo.git && git init --bare laptop$ git clone ssh://server/path/to/newrepo.git laptop$ cd newrepo laptop$ # add; commit; add; commit; ... laptop$ git push origin master (This may only work with recent versions of git as I believe earlier versions used to complain about cloning an empty repository.) j.
