Hello, I used to publish my local work on a machine with all my git repositories using the following commands: # Publish a local created repository to a remote repository. ssh 131.188.30.102 git --git-dir=/home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/repositories/private/astro.git init-db git remote add origin 131.188.30.102:/home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/repositories/private/astro.git git push origin master:master echo >> .git/config <<EOF [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master EOF git pull But since my last update of git it doesn't seem to work that way anymore. Is there another way to do what I like to using the git way?
