Git remote ssh url

Question

I'm trying to get git up running on a Windows server.

I have installed winssh and git on the server and now I wanted to test if everything is nice and cool. But it ain't.

I have the following url in the config file:

username@domain:GitRepo/QRCode.git

But I get the following error when I try to push:

does not appear to be a repository

I've created the repo like this:

mkdir QRCode.git cd QRCode.git git --bare init

And I can see all the git stuff is there at: "C:\GitRepo\QRCode.git"

I have also tried to change the URL to:

username@domain:c/GitRepo/QRCode.git

without any luck.

Thanks for the quick comment. I tried the double / and \ is not allowed. So no luck unfortunate. — DNRN

The directory in username@domain:GitRepo/QRCode.git points to GitRepo/QRCode.git inside the home directory. Do you know where the home directory is? — fajran

Could you try this? username@domain:/c/GitRepo/QRCode.git (there is a slash after the colon) — fajran

Have you tried using ssh://username@domain:...? I'm pretty sure you need to specify the initial scheme ssh:// for the URI, otherwise git doesn't know how to access it.

I might have more issues in the URI. When I try to ssh from the git bash shell, I end up in C:\Users\User no matter what I put after :

Forget for some time about Git-specific issues
Get, debug and fine-tune pure SSH-login to the box
When you get interactive SSH-session on the box - detect reached $HOME, relation to path to repos and correlation to URI - without it you'll do NOTHING

I have forgot everything I know about git. I've tried to juse $HOME folder this is User/someuser on windows. But nothing helps - I don't think there could be more combinations I haven't tried

@DNRN - don't use, DETECT!!! Read my text! SSH to host, find directory, in which you appear

As I said I've tried.. I installed cygwin and now everything runs like a charm. Thanks for no help :)
