Git repository not exported: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Question

Setting up new git installations.

On one Windows laptop, I\'m running (under cygwin):

git daemon --base-path=/cygdrive/c/work/proj/  

Answer 1

You need to create the git-daemon-export-ok file in the .git directory. Don't commit it into the repository along with your code, but just create an empty file with that name along with the branches, hooks, info, etc. directories.
