ubuntu - How to connect to git on a VPS server? -

this real beginner's question, drowning bit in huge sea of tutorials seem missing 1 or 2 vital steps...

i have ubuntu vps server ssh access. got ssh access working key pair don't have type password every time connect.

i have installed git on vps, , have created empty git repository in empty 'test1' folder using

git init --bare my-project.git

i have created second folder named 'test2' repository using

git init

now set 1 of these folders remote local project, can use git push place files on server (instead of using ftp put files on server).

i can't seem find proper procedure push new repo. have added remote local project using:

git remote add origin ssh://myname@100.00.000.000/test1/my-project.git git remote add origin ssh://myname@100.00.000.000:/test2/

i have tried cloning remote

git clone ssh://myname@100.00.000.000/test1/

when pushing or cloning error:

'not valid git repository - make sure valid repository , have access permissions'

what step missing here?

watch out leading /. interpreted root of filesystem, not want:

git clone ssh://myname@100.00.000.000:test1/

also ssh default, doing myname@100.00.000.000:test1/ should enough.
