A fast-track Git server howto

Package folder to git

git clone --bare projectfolder projectname.git

After that, we can copy it to a server where we have, eg SSH access. But, remember, if you're using another port for SSH than port 22, there's a few changes we need to make. In the ssh client config file /etc/ssh/ssh_config,
you have to set some options, changing the port number.

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

host YOUR_SERVER
port YOUR_PORT 

When that's done, take your new git out for a spin. On the client machine, try to clone from Git, using

git clone user@server:/path/to/gitproject.git

See if you can add a file with

git add filename.txt

Commit changes to git with

git commit -m "Added filename.txt"

And, last, push changes up to git

git push

Lastly, on another workstation, pull down changes to the git repo with

git pull

If you need to see changes to the git project, you can do that with

git status
