Question

first of all, apologize for dummy questions that I might throw here. It would be nice if you could point the directions where should I go from here.

Answer 1

look here for more information on setting up git on amazon ec2

to allow developers to use you git, you just need to give them the git server url.

Direct quote from the site i'm linking to.

"First and foremost, you need to add your EC2 identity to the ssh authentication agent. This prevents problems with git later, namely getting the error “Permission denied (publickey).” when trying to do a git push to the EC2 repository.

ssh-add path/to/privateEC2key.pem

Now you can go ahead and create the git repository on the EC2 instance.

ssh username@hostname.com 
mkdir the_project.git 
cd the_project.git 
git init --bare

So not much going on here, all we do is create an empty repository and then leave. Now, on the local machine, you do something like the following:

cd the_project 
git init
git add . 
git commit -m "Initial git commit message" 
git remote add origin username@hostname.com:the_project.git 
git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack" 
git push origin master

The ‘git config’ command is a fix that I found necessary to be able to push to the EC2 repository."
