My intended goal:
I maintain some
files in my local computer,
and I also share them with others by putting them on my website. In the past I did this by manually uploading all the
files using FTP, every time I did some modifications etc. Now, I am wondering if I can use Git to help me achieve this (by "pushing" the local
files to my website server). My server is hosted by Dreamhost.
First Attempt:
First, I try this tutorial. I first push my local
files to my Github repo,
and ssh into my Dreamhost server to clone --bare from the Github repo. But I find that git does not transfer my
files. So I ignore the tutorial.
Second Attempt:
I ssh into my Dreamhost server to clone directly from Github. My
files are all transfered to the server. Then, on my local computer, I git remote add dreamhost ssh://
[email protected]/~/my-project. Then I add some
files,
and commit,
and git push dreamhost master.
And a bunch of errors appears:

As a newbie Git user, I must have missed something. Please help!
