# Create a New git Repository

By

Travis Horn

• The server has been set up as a git server
• You are logged in as the non-root user

Initialize a bare repository in the home directory.

git init --bare ~/repos/[repo name]

Change [repo name] to a name of your choosing. Example: my-app

Write a descriptive name or short description of the repository.

echo "Some short description" > ~/repos/[repo name]/description

Now developers who can authenticate as this local user can clone, pull from, and push to this repository.
