git push origin master not pushing the files -

i have setup remote git , local git on mac able create git repo (git init myrepo) on remote machine (linux) added few files , committed them no problems (git add , git commit -m "test")

from local able clone repo remote no issues (git clone ssh://user@ip/path)

so far no issues.

i have created few files locally , used git add , commit tried push them remote server using git push origin master

initially received error message , searching around solution run command directly on remote server: git config receive.denycurrentbranch ignore

that fixed issues , able push successfully:

$ git push origin master

git add test.sh  git add git* git commit -m "adding 2 new files , updating test.sh" [master 4dd11a0] adding 2 new files , updating test.sh 3 files changed, 109 insertions(+) create mode 100644 githowtourls.txt create mode 100644 git_howto.txt git push origin master counting objects: 7, done. delta compression using 8 threads. compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1.91 kib | 0 bytes/s, done. total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo ad4a8b2..4dd11a0  master -> master 

$ git push -u origin master

branch master set track remote branch master origin. up-to-date 

$ git push origin head:master

everything up-to-date 

i checked make sure files match

$ git ls-remote origin

52543130bff4f9f37a23b01b0c44c7549ab82dd9        head 52543130bff4f9f37a23b01b0c44c7549ab82dd9        refs/heads/master 

$ git ls-remote

from ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo 52543130bff4f9f37a23b01b0c44c7549ab82dd9        head 52543130bff4f9f37a23b01b0c44c7549ab82dd9        refs/heads/master 

however when go remote repo (root@ip/path/myrepo) can't see of new files!!! idea doing wrong?

i ran git log on remote server , see notes:

thanks

new note:

ok, wasn't using bare branch sure, think command ran on remote system

git config receive.denycurrentbranch ignore 

i have deleted both repos on local , remote , created again (no bare sure)

then attempted push , received error:

localrepo$ git push origin master counting objects: 6, done. delta compression using 8 threads. compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1.98 kib | 0 bytes/s, done. total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: error: refusing update checked out branch: refs/heads/master remote: error: default, updating current branch in non-bare repository remote: error: denied, because make index , work tree inconsistent remote: error: pushed, , require 'git reset --hard' match remote: error: work tree head. remote: error:  remote: error: can set 'receive.denycurrentbranch' configuration variable remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in remote repository allow pushing remote: error: current branch; however, not recommended unless     remote: error: arranged update work tree match pushed in remote: error: other way. remote: error:  remote: error: squelch message , still keep default behaviour, set remote: error: 'receive.denycurrentbranch' configuration variable 'refuse'. ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo  ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch checked out) error: failed push refs 'ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo' 

this time round entered refuse instead of ignore

git config receive.denycurrentbranch refuse 

running git push generated new error message:

localrepo$ git push origin master  counting objects: 6, done. delta compression using 8 threads. compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1.98 kib | 0 bytes/s, done. total 5 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: error: refusing update checked out branch: refs/heads/master ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo  ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch checked out) error: failed push refs 'ssh://root@ip/path/myrepo' 

how uncheck branch push local remote repo?

you pushing non-bare repo (which works because of receive.denycurrentbranch being set ignore).

but it possible remote non-bare repo:

• has checked out different branch master (and since pushing master, content of working tree wouldn't change)
• or has checked out commit (meaning in detached head state, can confirm git branch inside repo, see if of branches marked checked out or not).

---

i have deleted both repos on local , remote , created again (no bare sure)

by default, receive.denycurrentbranch set 'refuse', error messages consistent that.

try setting on 'ignore', , since remote repo on master, push go through.

but won't see file: need post-receive hook checkout working tree or reset head, files appear.

see instance "git: making pushes non-bare repositories safe"

my post-receive hook looks this:

export git_work_tree=.. git checkout -f head 

---

the op reports in comments:

the answer original issue run on remote server:

git config receive.denycurrentbranch ignore  

then add export git_work_tree=.. git checkout -f head gitrepo <path>/.git/hooks/post-receive

that did trick , able push files local remote repo!!!
