Question

I’m using TortoiseGIT.

Here is my process:

1) Right click on empty folder and click on ‘Git create repository
here’

2) Make a bare repository in directory

3) right click in a different empty folder and click on ‘git clone’

4) clone from URL of created repository

5) in clone repository create a source file (such as source.cs)

6) Right click in git clone directory and press ‘git commit -> master’

7) Add source.cs file and commit it

8) Create a different git clone directory pointing to original repo,
attempt to do a git sync

The result is nothing happens, I don’t get the source file I comitted in the other repo…

Any ideas how to make this work?

GIT is distributed. I believe what is happening is you are committing to the local (in the folder created) repository. You will need to run sync on that repository to push it back to ORIGIN.

I had a similar problem when I was switching from SVN to GIT as they are very different in what COMMIT means. (I am by no means an expert here so I could be way off as well)
