Question

I am using an SSH Client to Dial into my Git Repo on my server.

I have the repo set up at

C:\Users\jameo\circletest.git

and I’m trying to set the ssh remote to it like this

git remote set-url origin ssh://jameo@10.10.10.10/C:/Users/jameo/circletest.git

And then do

git push origin master

But it keeps striping the “/”‘s from my path, I end up with something like this:

fatal: /C:Usersjameocircletest.git does not appear to be a git repository

Even if I reverse the slash (\ or /) either way its not finding the directory.
How would I go about finding this directory on the server?

Answer 1

In the end I decided it was much easier to just use SMB to dial into the directory, and then just point my repo at that mounted directory. Not really a solution to my exact question, but I would say this:

smb is 100x easier, and there 0 software to install.

Hope this can help someone struggling with the same thing
