I followed the directions on Mediatemple's site here and came up short, I couldn't get the local git repo to copy up to the server. I have ssh access and can get to the server and create a repo on my mediatemple server and access it through the command line, but when I try to link to it from my computer it won't connect.

I'm trying to use Tower and would like to create a repo on my server and then "Clone Remote Repository" from Tower and then be able to push commits I do locally up to the remote repo, obviously. But I seem to not be building the URL to the remote repo correctly. On the [Mediatemple page]((http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1594/Using+Git#gs) they seem to write the URL a few different ways. 

example.com@example.com:domains/git.example.com/html/example.git

or

ssh://example.com@example.com/home/00000/domains/git.example.com/html/example.git

I can't get the local apps to find the remote git repos. If my domain is joes.com and I have created a git repo in a folder called project. What is the URL to that repo?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

  • You were right Drew, they helped me out. Thanks for posting that. For other peoples interested in this also, this article helped me also [git-website-howto](http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto) Didn't answer all my questions but it sure helped. I finally have a server repo I can push my changes to and it will update the site. Thats a huge step forward for me. Thanks again Drew! – Jay Nov 02 '12 at 15:49

Drew was right, he totally helped me out and sent me to the right people at MediaTemple. Thanks!

I had very simple ssh problems, I was learning. The problem was I was trying to login to with the path and everything. What you need to do is ssh into the server then cd to where you want to be. $ ssh user@server.com password: $ cd where/you/want/to/go

then in the Git program you can just add user@example.com:where/you/want/to/go and that will work. THANKS!
