GIT repository across local file system in windows

I already have a Git repository on my computer. I want to setup a remote repository for that in my computer for example in /path/to/remote.
So I used git initto initiate an empty repository. Then I used this command: 

$ git remote add test "file:///path/to/remote/.git/"

And then tried:

$ git push -u test --all

But that results error:

remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master
remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository
remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent
remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to match
remote: error: the work tree to HEAD.
remote: error:
remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to

remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing into

remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you
remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in some

remote: error: other way.
remote: error:
remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set

remote: error: 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'.
To file:///path/to/remote/.git/
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)

How I can solve this problem?

Edit:

As must of answers of this question offer, I tried to Push to a Non-Checked-Out Branch and problem solved.

Make sure that the remote repository is a bare repository

git init --bare

Then you can push to it

git push -u file:///path/to/remote/ --all
