Hi, I'm playing a bit with git (still ~ total beginner). I could create a local repository, commit in it, but then, I tried to push it to a remote machine, on which git is installed. I would have expected "push" to do this, but: $ git push ssh://machine.fr/tmp/foo fatal: '/tmp/foo': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Then, I tried "clone": $ git clone . ssh://machine.fr/tmp/foo Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/foo/ssh:/machine.fr/tmp/foo/.git/ remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 3 objects. remote: Deltifying 3 objects. 100% (3/3) done/3) done remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Indexing 3 objects. 100% (3/3) done Gosh, "push" seems to know what a URL is, but not "clone", which considers the _file_ ssh:/machine.fr/tmp/foo ... Then only, I understood that I would have to log onto the remote machine, and mkdir + git init manually. At least, this should be mentionned in the git-push man page, but indeed, is there any reason why git-push could not just create the remote repository? And any reason why clone doesn't deal with URLs?
