To access your files in the repository, you want to create a non-bare (normal) clone. git clone path-to-git-repo On a side note, git can clone over ssh, so you don't need to use scp to copy a project over the network. If your intent is to create a clone of a remote project on your computer, then cloning over ssh generally takes fewer commands than doing the copy manually first. ~ Andrew Keller -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
