git push origin master not pushing the files

Question

Answer 1

You are probably pushing to a bare repository. You must clone it someplace and pull from the remote in order to see live changes.

To create a bare repository at myPath; you'll need to be logged into a shell on myIP:

1. mv myPath myPath2 # saves the live repository
2. git clone --bare myPath2 myPath # creates the bare repository

Now your push should work and follow @VonC's instructions above in configuring your post-receive hook.
