I'm brand new to git and have no experience with any version control system. I develop locally and am looking for a simpler way (than FTP) to deploy files to the (LAMP) web server. I am having a hard time configuring Git (version 2.5 for Windows) to automatically update its current working directory when I push changes. Here is what I've done, after creating a local repo, doing the first commit, and adding the remote location under alias origin
:
- [remote]
ssh user@domain
- [remote]
cd testgit
- [remote]
git init
- [remote]
git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead
- [remote]
git status
: nothing to commit - [remote]
exit
- [local >> master]
git status
: nothing added but untracked files present - [local >> master]
git push origin master
Step 8 generates one notice and two errors:
stdin: is not a tty
fatal: bad config value for 'receive.denycurrentbranch' in config
fatal: Could not read from remote repository
I've been looking around but I'm stuck. What am I doing wrong?
