Cannot create second repository git

Question

I will show You what I am doing step by step on server (ubuntu server 12.04) and local (ubuntu 12.04):

Server :

mkdir foo
cd foo
git init

(btw.) pwd /home/andrzej/repository/foo

Everything ok:-).

Local :

mkdir test
cd test
git clone andrzej@192.168.1.20:/home/andrzej/repository/foo
(password)
cd foo
(copy some file - e.g. fake.txt)
git add *
git commit -m "Add fake file"

Everything ok:-).

And now :

git push origin master
(password)

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)

What I am doing wrong? I can add that some time ago I have created one repository which name was "repogit" just to test and everything was alright. (git init... step by step). Now I want to create the second repo. I getting an above error. Maybe this is the problem? I cannot create second repo?

Answer 1

The original repository should be bare for you to easily do so.

It means that it should have been initialized with --bare option:

git --bare init

Otherwise you can make the existing repository bare following the instructions from this answer.
