Set up the server

These instructions were performed on a CentOs 5.5 box.

First, if you haven’t done so already, add your public key to the server:

 $ ssh myuser@server.com mkdir .ssh
 $ cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh myuser@server.com 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

(Don't do this if you've already uploaded your public ssh key!)

Add your repositories

Login to the server:

 $ ssh myuser@server.com

Now we can create our repositories:

 $ mkdir -p path/to/myrepo.git
 $ cd $!
 $ git init --bare .

The last steps creates an empty repository. This assumes there is a local repository to push to the remote server.

Log out of the server.

Configure your development machine

Add the remotes to the local machine. If you’ve already defined a remote named origin (for example, if you followed GitHub’s instructions), you’ll want to delete the remote first:

 $ git remote rm origin

Now we can add our new remote:

 $ git remote add origin myuser@server.com:path/to/myrepo.git
 $ git push origin master

And that’s it. You’ll probably also want to make sure you add a default merge and remote:

 $ git config branch.master.remote origin
 $ git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

And that's it!
