What does the “.git” mean in a git URL?

Question

I setup a git repo in foo

cd
mkdir foo
cd foo
git init

Now I want to reference that remotely

git clone git+ssh://me@somemachine         


        

Answer 1

.git has no special meanings, weather you need to add it depends where the repo is located on server side, with or without .git.

sometimes a repo with .git imply it is a bare repo.
