git - Gitosis won't create repository

Question

I'm testing my new Git repository. I converted from Subversion to Git, no problem.

Now, on my laptop

git remote add origin git@server:test.git

returns correctly. But when I do

git push

I get

error:gitosis.serve.main:repository read access denied

And when I go to /srv/git/repositories on the server, the new repository isn't created.

Is there a log file that I can look at somewhere to figure out what's going on?

Answer 1

Repositories cannot be created with git push. You have to use git init --bare on the server for that.
