Check out this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7861184/what-is-the-difference-between-git-init-and-git-init-bare Isn't the error you mentioned before the same? >> I usually prefer initializing a remote with a readme, so I can simply clone >> it and then populate it with files.

Sorry, that probably only applies when you use a web service like Github, Bitbucket, or Gitbucket. >> This book is good: https://pragprog.com/book/pg_git/pragmatic-guide-to-git >> >Thanks for the link. Just now ordered it. Yeah, that book has a good TL;DR rating. It's not exhaustive, but the commands you use most of the time are covered. Like "how do I undo a commit", or "How do I create a tag". I have this book, plus a big fat Git book with just about everything in it. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
