I have an server (available via ssh) on the internet that my friend and I use for working on projects together. We have started using git for source control. Our setup currently is as follows:

  • Friend created repository on server with git init named project.friend.git
  • I cloned project.friend.git on server to project.jesse.git
  • I then cloned project.jesse.git on server to my local machine using git clone jesse@server:/git_repos/project.jesse.git
  • I work on my local machine and commit to the local machine. When I want to push my changes to the project.jesse.git on server I use git push origin master. My friend is working on project.friend.git. When I want to get his changes I do pull jesse@server:/git_repos/project.friend.git.

Everything seems to be working fine, however, I am now getting the following error when I do git push origin master:

localpc:project.jesse jesse$ git push origin master

Is this warning anything I need to be worried about? Like I said, everything seems to be working. My friend is able to pull my changes in from my branch. I have the clone on the server so he can access it since he does not have access to my local machine. Is there something that could be done better?

Thanks!
