1. Creating a remote repository before the local one
Step 1: create the folder on the remote server and initialise the empty bare repository
ssh username@yourserver
mkdir yourgitremoterepo.git
cd yourgitremoterepo.git
git --bare init
Step 2: back to your machine, clone the repository
git clone username@yourserver:yourgitremoterepo.git
2. Making your existing local repository available on remote
Step 1: I assume that you have done something like this
cd yourlocalrepo
git init
git add .
git commit -a -m "first commit"
Step 2: to create the remote repository, login to your remote server and initialise an empty bare repository
ssh username@yourserver
mkdir yourgitremoterepo.git
cd yourgitremoterepo.git
git --bare init
Step 3: now back to your machine, link your remote repository with the local one and push all your files
git remote add origin username@yourserver:yourgitremoterepo.git
git push origin master

If you have tried that command, you already know that doesn’t work! Here is the correct procedure to update gem under ubuntu/debian without using apt-get/aptitude $ sudo gem install rubygems-update $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin $ sudo ./update_rubygems $ gem -v $ 1.3.5

After installing PHP 5.3, you may get a warning for every function involving date and time like Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for [...]
To fix this, you can set the timezone in your script using date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/London’); or set it into the php.ini file with date.timezone = ‘Europe/London’

If you have recently upgraded to php 5.3 and you have done it using sudo port install php5 +apache2+macosx+mysqlnd+pear you should have noticed that you cannot use mysql anymore because of an error that, I’m sure, is driving you crazy PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///tmp/mysql.sock) in /Users/antonio/Sites/db.php on line 25
PHP Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /Users/antonio/Sites/db.php on line 25 The problem comes from php and unfortunately is only fixable changing the location of the mysql.sock from the usual macports directory /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock editing the file /opt/local/etc/my.cnf
You have reverted an svn merge and you have a lot of files not tracked (with exclamation mark, basically)? Clean it up: svn status | awk '$1 == "?" {print $2}' | xargs -t -i rm -r {} Again, knowing awk and xargs turn helpful!
