git remote does not appear to be a git repository (dokku)

问题

I just created a digital ocean server with ubuntu 14.04 x64.

When created, I set ssh access, and downloaded dokku (needed to run command twice, but it's a common issue)

Command:

wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/progrium/dokku/v0.2.3/bootstrap.sh | sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.2.3 bash 

Then, locally I tried to connect my local repo and push my code into my new server:

$ git remote set-url amsterdam git@**.**.**.**
$ git push amsterdam master
fatal: 'git@**.**.**.**' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So, What am I missing?

--> Note that I'm new and this should be a really basic question

EDIT:

At first when I tried to add new remote I typed this:

git remote set-url amsterdam dokku@**.**.**.**

But got the same error, that's why I tried with git@...

EDIT 2:

I just discovered something strange.

When I do ls in root I get a single folder called dokku, but I I do this:

cd ..
ls /home

I get dokku again, but the content of them is different.

In /home/dokku I have this:

drwxr-xr-x 3 dokku root 4096 May 23 10:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root  root 4096 May 23 10:31 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root    8 May 23 10:33 HOSTNAME
drwxr-xr-x 2 dokku root 4096 May 23 10:31 .ssh
-rw-r--r-- 1 dokku root   21 May 23 10:31 .sshcommand
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root    7 May 23 10:34 VERSION

But in /root/dokku I have this:

drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 23 10:31 .

回答1:

If you are trying to create a new remote, you should be using:

git remote add amsterdam git@... instead of git remote set-url amsterdam git@...

where, amsterdam (name doesn't matter) is just an alias to git@... (the url you provide).

set-url is used to update the URL of an existing remote location.

There are a few more points to be noted:

• Incase you haven't initialized your git repository yet, type: git init . in your project directory.

• Next step is to add changes to local git index. To do so type:
  git add .

• Then, record changes to local git repository. To do so type:
  git commit -m 'some-commit-message'

• Finally, push the changes to remote server. To do so type:
  git push amsterdam master, where master is name of your branch, which is master by default.
