I am trying to push my local repo(set up on a CentOS server)to a remote empty repo initialized on GitLab. This is how I do it:
# initialize a repo on local
git init
git config --global user.name jdhao
git config --global user.email jdhao@xxxxx.com
# add all file in local repo
git add .
# commit the changes
git commit -m "first commit"
# add a remote repo
git remote add origin http://remote/url/jdhao/some_repo
# push change local change to remote repo
git push -u origin master
I met the RPC error described here：
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 404
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I followed this answer and change the remote repo address:
git remote set-url origin http://remote/url/jdhao/some_repo.git
Now I can push the local repo to remote without error.
But for another local repo which is set up on my Windows machine, I can push it to a gitlab remote repo without adding .git after the repo name.
I wonder if there are some rules regarding this issue?
