root@server# cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs

root@server# mkdir test-repo.git

root@server# cd test-repo.git

root@server# git --bare init

root@server# git update-server-info

root@server# chown -R www.www . #don't miss this trailing dot at the end.

3)

root@server# root@server# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

5)

root@server# htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/passwd.git <user-id>

6)

root@server# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

On the client side

1) Push to Remote Server

user1@mycomp1$ mkdir -p ~/Work/test-project

user1@mycomp1$ cd ~/Work/test-project

user1@mycomp1$ git init

user1@mycomp1$ git remote add origin http://<user>@<servername or IPaddress>/test-project.git

user1@mycomp1$ touch README

user1@mycomp1$ git add README

user1@mycomp1$ git commit -a -m “Initial import”

user1@mycomp1$ git push origin master

2) clone from Remote Server

NOTE: it's a different computer

user2@mycomp2$ git clone http://<servername or IPaddress>/test-project.git /tmp/cloned-project

3) Add new file and then push to Remote Server

user2@mycomp2$ cd /tmp/cloned-project

user2@mycomp2$ touch NEWFILE

user2@mycomp2$ git add NEWFILE

user2@mycomp2$ git commit -a -m “add NEWFILE”

user2@mycomp2$ git remote rm origin # it removes a remote server aliased as ‘origin’ if there is any.

user2@mycomp2$ git remote add origin http://<user>@<servername or IPaddress>/test-project.git

# you can name whatevery alias your like instead of ‘origin’.

user2@mycomp2$ git push origin master

4) Fetch from and merge with “test-project.git” repository

user1@mycomp1$ cd ~/Work/test-project

user1@mycomp1$ git pull origin master

# this will fetch NEWFILE from remote repository and merge it with your working directory.
