#208730 — using git locally

hello,
Because I am always making mistakes I thought, if it's not too hard, to 
see about using git locally.
I made a git repository for project following destructions
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-git-effectively
but I'm having bother accessing it remotely.
I can ssh from one pc to another using keys with key phrase.
"ssh mick@server"
but
"git remote add origin ssh://mick@server/home/mick/git/camera"
and many variations I get.
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I'm not really understanding the difference between "ssh" and "ssh://" 
except "ssh" works in terminal and "ssh://" doesn't.
Is it ssh:// that is wrong or I've failed to get the syntax right for 
git ?

If that is literally all you want to do, then you don't need to set up
a "repository".  You have your project, sitting in a directory.  You can
turn that directory into a git-managed directory and use "git commit"
and so on right inside it, without ever pushing or pulling or remoteing
or origining or any other stuff where your directory is linked to some
outside entity.

Digital ocean is not exactly the first choice here.

The official Git documentation, in particular chapter 4
<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols>

would probably be a better starting point.

If you really *did* create a git repository on a remote server, and
you want to clone it onto your local PC, you use a "git clone" command.

Something like:  git clone my.server:/whatever.git

well that seems to work
"git clone myserver:/path_to_git_repository"
whereas
"git remote add origin myserver:/path_to_git_repository"
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

probably I can worry about that later at least I know now I can talk to 
it.

That's because git remote add is meant to add a remote to an existing
git (local) repository. You're probably running it on an empty
directory, so it complains (correctly) that you're not in a repository.

If you really must, do "git init ." and then "git remote add". But just
use clone to create the local repository based on another repository.

This comes from David Karl Oliver who is no longer among the living.

Oh I see, thought message was about the other end.

I'm no expert on git, so ask me questions - I probably won't be able to
answer them anyway.   :-)

That said, this might help:-

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28827831/how-to-setup-git-on-local-network

The relevant part appears to be:

---------Quote---------------------------
Basically, you'll want to use git daemon. If you just need to set up a
single repository, that's one line from each machine:

Server:

git daemon --base-path=/path/to/repo --export-all

Client:

git remote add LocalServerName git://<serveraddress>/

where <serveraddress> is some reference to that machine (IPv4, IPv6,
.local, etc.). You can also specify --verbose for the daemon command for
more detailed output.

I think, also, you could have --base-path point to a folder with many
repositories, and that would let you specify which project you wanted on
the client-side like so:

git daemon --base-path=/path/to/all/repos

git remote add ServerName git://<serveraddress>/MyProject/

Be advised: using --export-all will let any computer on the network pull
from your repo.
