How to create a local push destination on a hard disk using Git

I want to make a local push destination on my hard disk on Git, and use that destination(folder) for push and pull instead of adding an remote repository. How do I do that in Git?

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the folder you want to have your remote in

    $ cd /path/to/my-remote

  2. Create a bare repository there via git init

    $ git init --bare

  3. Go to the repository you want to work in and add a new remote pointing to the previously created repository via git remote add

    $ git remote add <name-of-remote> /path/to/my-remote

  4. After these steps you should be able to push to your new remote <name-of-remote>

    $ git push -u <name-of-remote> master

    Where -u is used to set the upstream of your branch, only needed the first time you push.
