Creating a Remote Shared Git Repository

When creating a remote shared Git repository you likely want to do it like this:

	ssh gitserver.com
	mkdir -p /var/data/repos/myrepo.git
	cd /var/data/repos/myrepo.git
	git --bare init --shared=group

The "--shared=group" is important as it will ensure that permissions will be set correctly when working with the repository with multiple users. When issued in this way the config file will end up looking like this:

	[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = true
	sharedrepository = 1
	[receive]
	denyNonFastforwards = true
