I am trying to install git on a server and have some problem when I try to perform the first push. I successfully installed git on the server, created the repository locally and on the server but when I try to make the first push I get this message:
stdin: is not a tty
fatal: '/my_repo.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I googled it and followed everything I could find but nothing worked. What could be wrong?
I will assume you are using ssh to clone your repo.
That means you need the full path of the repo on the server in your ssh address:
git clone ssh://sshuser@serverIP/full/absolute/path/to/my_repo
Note: if your 'my_repo' is a bare one (to allow pushing), that would be:
git clone ssh://sshuser@serverIP/full/absolute/path/to/my_repo.git
The stdin: is not a tty simply means that in the .bashrc of the sshuser account, there is something expecting an input.

Had this issue because I was trying to push in a
--barerepo non empty.
Even if it was exactly the same files, I had the same error message: "Not git repository"I had to backup my
/httpdocsremote folder, create an empty new/httpdocsfolder, do againgit init --bareand re-push from local.My remote address :
url = ssh://magento@magento/home/magento/httpdocs(with a private/public key in both sides)
stdin: is not a ttyerror is still here though, I will try to fix it.
ssh://name@server/~/myproj/
git init --bare and re-push from local. My remote address : url = ssh://magento@magento/home/magento/httpdocs (with a private/public key in both sides)
May be you forgot to run git --bare init on the remote folder
That was my problem
Or, you can simply use:
git clone user@server:/full/path/to/your/directory
A non-jailed/non-chrooted git user may also be the issue source, and setting the user's home directory (~/) may also help. For example, change:
git clone -- 'ssh://user@host:port/dir/repo.git';
to
git clone -- 'ssh://user@host:port/~/dir/repo.git';

/my_repo.git? Or is it in your home directory or something?my_repo.gitand/my_repo.gitand nothing workspwd. The output is the full path of the repository, make sure you use that.ssh? Have you verified thatsshfunctionality is working outside ofgit? How did you connect your local repository to the remote repository -- did you usegit clone? What command did you type exactly? Did you usegit remote add? Again, what was the exact command? Can you show us your fullgit pushcommand line (that is, are you typing anything other than simplygit push)?pwdcommand I did not know how to get the full path
