Update – known issue with git-enterprise. Used unfuddle and subtree merge works now
I’ve been developing locally only on my machine using Git. It has never been pushed to a remote repo.
I just signed up for an account on enterprise git. I now want to import my local repo to the newly created remote git repo and maintain the history.

remote: error: other way.
remote: error:
remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set
remote: error: 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'.
So then tried
git clone repourl/project.git
cd project
git remote add other /tmp/myproject
git checkout master
git commit
git push
When I did git commit received

Doing git push receive
Everything up-to-date
Though if I do “ls” I see all my files.
If I do “git log” I see my version history.
Switched to github and bitbucket private repo. enterprise-git too buggy at least when I was trying
