I am making a remote repo by using these command
mkdir NewRepo
cd NewRepo
git init
Then I clone this repo to local
git clone user@server:/path/to/app/.git
This worked for me, But I want give the repo a name, do something like everybody else does:
git clone user@server:/path/to/app/reponame.git
Is there anyone who can tell me how to do this?

It is possible to create a git repository directly in a folder, without the subdirectory
.git
. To do this, you do this:This is called a bare repository - it contains the contents of what would normally be in a
.git
folder. It has no working copy. These sorts of repositories are usually used in the remote server (where you're pushing your changes); i.e., when your remote repository basically reflects what you've committed locally, and nobody is working directly on the code in the remote server location (therefore no need for a working copy.)More detail:
