Git initialize remote repo

Question

I followed this post to set up a remote git repository.

Instead of starting from scratch,

• I did some development in my pc1 (the repo was created using git init)

• Now I wanted to move the repo to the server (same subnet)

  ssh [e-mail]
mkdir my_project.git
cd my_project.git
git init --bare

• Then locally

  cd my_project
git remote add origin [e-mail] :my_project.git
git push -u origin master

Now, in the remote (server) repo, I see these folders

branch configuration description HEAD hooks info objects refs

I expected / want to see the same content as my local (pc1) git repo

bin doc src

Answer 1

You have initialized the open repository on the remote side. This means that it stores a history, but does not have a working directory (translation - without actually checking the project). The structure you see is normal.

Answer 2

git init --bare means that you are creating a bare repository, not a working repository. The bare repository is usually stored on the server and looks just like your .git directory of your working r-repository.
