I followed this post to setup a remote git repo.

Instead of starting from scratch,

  1. I did some development in my pc1 (the repo was created with git init)

  2. Now, I wanted to move the repo to a server (same subnet)

    ssh git@example.com
    mkdir my_project.git
    cd my_project.git
    git init --bare

  3. Then, locally

    cd my_project
    git remote add origin git@example.com:my_project.git
    git push -u origin master

Now, in remote (server) repo, I see these folders

branches config description HEAD hooks info objects refs

I was expecting/want to see the same content as my local (pc1) git repo

bin doc src

    You initialized a bare repository on the remote side. What this means is that it stores the history, but doesn’t have a working directory (translation — no actual checkout of the project). The structure you’re seeing is normal.
