Just thought I'd post about a problem I was having with git concerning the setup and cloning of a remote repository. Basically, if you've setup a repository on a remote machine, and want to clone from that machine onto a local one using ssh, you may run into problems like I did.
The error I received was:
ThaDonMBP:workspace craiger$ git clone craiger@192.168.2.10:/git/myproj Initialized empty Git repository in /private/workspace/myproj/.git craiger@192.168.2.10's password: bash: git-upload-pack: command not found fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
The problem is that git is expecting git-upload-pack in a specific directory on the remote machine, and that is /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. That's *not* where I had git installed, I had it installed in /opt/git/bin. So all you need to do is symlink your git executables to /usr/bin like so:
craiger@192.168.2.10:~$ cd /usr/bin craiger@192.168.2.10:/usr/bin$ sudo ln -s /opt/git/bin/* .
After that, things should work!
