Thanx for the explanation, so if you create the repo on the server, can you just got clone server.ip then? How do you clone it? Does that git init —bare command

  git clone teekert@ssh.example.com:path/like/scp If you also want public access over http you can activate one of the default hooks (so a single "rename a file" command on the server) and then export it using literally any web server software (as it is a folder of dumb files).

    Ah! Somehow I was assuming some magic in the cloning, some server-client relation. There is not I guess, and that is actually logical. Also refreshing in a way.

      FWIW, I do believe that you have to have git installed on the other side, and what it is doing at an implementation level is using ssh to run a transient copy of the git daemon backed by that path on the remote machine, which communicates over stdin/stdout--and so over ssh--and which implicitly (due to the EOF) dies when the ssh connection dies. Like, I don't think it is accessing the remote side using mere scp/sftp file-system operations or anything (which would be horribly slow for a number of basic operations and would make cleanly running triggers and the such more annoying).
