I have a network drive at home on which I'd like to set up some repositories for personal work. I found instructions that tell me to use the following commands:
Let us call the network drive Y: (I'm on Windows 10 Pro), and the directory in which I'm going to put repositories "git".
From the command line, default directory set to the parent of the repo to create:
[CODE]
y:
cd /git
git init --bare myrepo.git
[/CODE]
Then with the default directory set to the working directory for the code I will want to put in that repo:
[CODE]git remote add origin y:\git\myrepo.git[/CODE]
When I do this, git returns the message "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
I have tried with names that do not have ".git" in them. I have wiped the directories and done it over. I have tried it with slashes instead of backslashes; none of them work, all of them give the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
