I come to you with a (mabye very basic) question regarding git.

I have the following setup:

- Raspberry Pi: git respository created, added one file and commmitted it

- Windows 10 PC: git repository created, OpenSSH installed

Next thing I did was testing if can access via ssh in both directions which was working fine. I could connect from my Raspberry Pi to the Windows PC via ssh using my windows username and password. Now I wanted to push the one file committed on my Raspberry Pi to my repository on my windows pc. Therefore I used the following lines:

git remote add pc ssh://Username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Projects
git push pc master

Afterwards I get asked for the password where I enter my Windows Password. As result I get the message:

fatal: '/Projects' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository

This folder '/Projects' is on my Windows PC in the directory where I get when I connect via ssh. And if I run (locally) a "git status" in this folder I get the correct status.

I'd would be very thankful if you can help me, especially to understand where is my thinking mistake. Can I use the windows username and password for git? Do I need an extra ssh key for git?

Thanks in Advance!

Make sure to add the absolute path like /home/user/projects
