Continue to the next section if you want to create a bare repository for it to push to/pull from.
== Create a remote bare Git repository for a repository to push to/pull from ==
# cd to where you want the remote repository located.
# Create the bare repository.
#* <code>git init --bare --shared ''bareRepoName''</code>
# cd to your repository that you want link to this bare repository.
# Set the remote.
#* <code>git remote add origin ''path to/url for your bare repository''</code>
# Set the configuration for pulling.
#* <code>git config branch.master.remote origin</code>
#* <code>git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master</code>
# Push your files to the bare repository (must specify origin master since this is the first push to the empty repository)
#* <code>git push origin master</code>
You can now operate as if you had cloned from bareRepoName.
