Connect remote server to git

Question

I have a remote server that has my original instance of Omeka:

Now, I downloaded all code in local, and created a Git Repo.

Now, as user will add content directly on my remote server, I want to commit directly remotely, and then download changes in local.

Thing is I have no git repository in my distant server.

So, I tried to copy local .git folder to distant server, but now, I get:

error: bad index file sha1 signature
fatal: index file corrupt

How should I do it???

Does it a bare repository? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6214711/git-log-and-show-on-a-bare-repo — Andy, Dec 19 '16 at 01:00
When do you get this error? What commands can be used to replicate what you've done? — Guildencrantz, Dec 19 '16 at 04:39

Please elaborate `Now, I downloaded all code in local, and created a Git Repo.`. What steps did you perform? — Harish Ved, Dec 19 '16 at 06:07

To serve git repo from remote, you will have to create a bare repository on the server and serve that folder via the https/ssh protocol.

Then clone the remote repo via the https/ssh url onto your local server. Then you will be able to pull any commits made on the remote server.

You can find a nice tutorial here

Naming the remote server «origin» would also be nice, as it is the name GIT assigns to the central servers when built the first. – Adirio Dec 19 '16 at 06:21
