So I'm using GIT, trying to push code to my remote server.

  • on a shared unix hosting, and I'm not allowed to have my own environment variables (blocked for SSH accounts) and no sudo access.
  • managed to install git successfully in my /home/
  • trying to push code to the server returns : bash: git-upload-pack: command not found
  • $PATH variable is set - because git is installed in my /home/

  • to get things working, I had to use to following clone command :

    git clone -u /home/bin/git-upload-pack user@server.com:mygitfolder

  • same versions of git on local machine/remote server (1.7.0.4)

so from what I can gather, I need to basically :

  • find a way to either wrap my environment variable every time I push to the server or
  • specify the path of my git-receive-pack while pushing to the server

I understand I could create a hook that would take effect as I push, but have not managed to find where/how this is implemented.

(I would rather not create an alias on my local machine)

git unix version-control ssh
