Not able to access a local git server

Question

We have installed a bonobogit server by following this guide: http://bonobogitserver.com/install/

I am able to access the repositories by using the web browser. I have created a XYZ repo using the browser. However when I try to clone it by using git-gui or command prompt, I get the following error:

fatal: http://localhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/XYZ.git/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

@prajmus we have a master branch. How to check if the head is valid? — bubble, Aug 26 '14 at 10:48
Do you have any commits ? And also, in your server what's the authentication method set to ? Maybe it's a problem with it being windows, when you really want basic auth — prajmus, Aug 26 '14 at 10:53
You can try creating a local repo with `git init` than `git add remote origin http://localhost/Bono.../GTD.git` than create a commit `git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit"` and push — prajmus, Aug 26 '14 at 11:03
I made a mistake out of hurry, should be `git remote add ...` not `git add remote ...` — prajmus, Aug 26 '14 at 11:27

The problem in this case was resolved by setting the server for windows authentication as given in this link.
