@ -18,3 +18,27 @@ as non-bare repositories. Except for these caveats:
branches that have been pushed to the bare repository. So use it with care..
* Commands that need a work tree, like `git annex add` won't work in a bare
repository, of course.

Here is a quick example of how to set this up, using `origin` as the remote name, and assuming `~/annex` contains an annex:
On the server:
mkdir bare-annex
git init --bare
git annex init origin
Now configure the remote and do the initial push:
cd ~/annex
git remote add origin example.com:bare-annex
git push origin master git-annex
Now `git annex status` should show the configured bare remote. If it does not, you may have to pull from the remote first (older versions of `git-annex`)
If you wish to configure git such that you can push/pull without arguments, set the upstream branch:
git branch master --set-upstream origin/master
