Trouble connecting to my git repository from windows to linux

I have git installed on my local windows 7 PC. I can commit there. I have git installed on my linux dev server. I can commit there. I have successfully cloned to each machine a github repository. So they seem to be working in that sense. But I'd like to be able to push from my PC to the dev server.

I believe that I am missing a crucial piece of info here and can't find any tutorials, questions answered on how to set this up.

I have a few questions:

Here is how I'm currently trying to clone from my linux server and the response... (i changed the IP address)

C:\DevEnv>git clone 0.0.0.0:gitrepo.git
Cloning into 'gitrepo'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I have a directory called gitrepo.git that has a repository.

I also tried creating a repository in the home dir of mysite.com. When I try cloning that from my PC this is what happens:

C:\DevEnv>git clone http://mysite.com
Cloning into 'mysite.com'...
fatal: http://mysite.com/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

I've read through many tutorials and they mostly talk about either really really basic concepts, or how to push/pull to github, or just skip over certain settings so when I follow them I get fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly...

Any help, point in the right direction would be most appreciated!

  1. Check path to your project.

  2. Try to clon via git protocol:

    C:\DevEnv>git clone git://0.0.0.0/gitrepo.git

You may need to provide your username. For example:

$ git clone [email protected]:/opt/git/project.git

Or you could setup a samba-share on the Linux box and share your git-repo, mount the share in windows and clone it from the filesystem.
