Question

Git-1.7.11-preview20120710.exe used by me. I create a git repository

cd "GIT scm/"
git init --bare shahed.git
cd shahed.git
git update-server-info

Then I start git daemon by following command

git daemon --reuseaddr --base-path="E:/GIT scm/" --export-all --verbose --enable=receive-pack

Then I clone the git repository as following

git clone git://localhost/shahed.git

Cloning into 'shahed'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

cd shahed
touch shahed.txt
touch shohel.txt
git add *.*
git commit -m 'ok'

[master (root-commit) 2062f1d] 'ok'
 0 files changed
 create mode 100644 shahed.txt
 create mode 100644 shohel.txt

git push

No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
Perhaps you should specify a branch such as 'master'.
Everything up-to-date

While git daemon console log following message

[4044] Ready to rumble
[736] Connection from [::1]:50076
[736] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=localhost>
[736] Request upload-pack for '/shahed.git'

[4860] Extended attributes (16 bytes) exist <host=localhost>
[4860] Request receive-pack for '/shahed.git'
[4860] fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

But I am unable to git push. anybody tell me which step i missed to creating git repository. all the initiative are taken by me are ok or where is the lackings for configuring git repository.

Answer 1

What that is telling you is that there is no master branch in your bare origin repository, because it was created empty. So, it can’t find the branch you want to update, and by default it won’t blindly create a new branch (in case it was a typo or something). You may need to use git push -f origin master the first time. Once there is a master branch in origin, normal git push should work fine.

Alternatively, you could create your working repository first, with at least one commit in it, then git clone --bare it into your git-daemon location, but you’ll then want to remove the origin remote specification in your bare repository, and you’ll have to manually add it (or re-clone) in your working repository.
