git installation

hello every one,

I am new to linux(ubuntu). I want to install a version control- git on my ubuntu server and allow access to my team mates from both ubuntu and windows.

I have followed the instructions mentioned here.( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git).

but after I distributed the public key of my local system(using ubuntu). I was able to initialise the gitosis using

sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init < initialKeyFileName.

But the next step which I performed on the client failed reporting "git is not installed".
and asking me to install it using "apt-get install git-core"

Is it so that I have to install git on my local system also.

please comply if I am ignorant of any basic information.

I request to please respond.

regards,

yes, you have to install git on every client you want to be able to check things out.

Thank you surfer.

But now after the installation of git on my client, I tried to clone again, but it prompted for password for "gitosis@yourserver.com" but I have no password for it.

Is it better to remove every thing and start from the first step.

But then to remove how do I delete the user "git" created at /home. Its not found in the list of users. and the folder does not get deleted.

I have been trying to install git for the past two days. its become an embarrassment now.

please help me.

oh. sorry every one out there

I made a mistake of giving the wrong path for cloning, I had to give a more precised path.

Now its cloned
after creating a new project and if I try to create a project folder in my local host and push it to the server it gives me the following error


shyam@ubuntu:~/testPro$ git remote add origin git@172.25.148.3:testPro.git
shyam@ubuntu:~/testPro$ git push origin master
git@172.25.148.3's password: i entered my password
fatal: 'testPro.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly


can any one please help.

Ajith
