Question

I just installed gitosis on my server and I successfully
created a new repository.
I can commit changes to git@IP:srv_repository.git but I don’t know where I can find these files (with committed changes) on my server?

Thank you.

The files may not be directly visible on your server. They’ve been committed to the home directory of the git user, somewhere inside the repositories directory. These are all bare repositories; to see the actual files you’ll have to clone the appropriate repository. For example:

mkdir work
cd work
git clone ~/repositories/myrepo.git
