How to setup a remote git repository and push (or share) the local eclipse project to the repository

1. Run the following commands on the server to host the central git repository:

   sudo apt-get install git
   mkdir /path/to/git-root/MyProject.git
   cd /path/to/git-root/MyProject.git
   git init --bare --shared=group
   

2. Run the following commands on the local computer to push the local eclipse project to the repository:

   cd /path/to/workspace/MyProject
   git init
   echo "bin" > .gitignore
   git add '*'
   git add '.*'
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   git remote add origin user@server.example.com:/path/to/git-root/MyProject.git
   git push -u origin master
   

3. Now other team members can check out the project from the central repository:

   git clone user2@server.example.com:/path/to/git-root/MyProject.git
   cd MyProject
