Your solution sounds safer than copying the contents of .git up to the repo root, thanks for sharing it. Also -- nice to see someone promoting their site with relevant comments -- I almost hit "spam" when I saw your tagline, but given that I can't find the text of your comment on Google (so you're probably real rather than a bot) and anyway I have nofollow links switched on, I figured I should let it stand :-) Glad I could help!

As I had quite few changes I didn't want to lose I just moved my non-bare directory on the remote server and the recloned it using git clone --bare command. $ mv my-repos my-repos-bak $ git clone --bare my-repos-bak my-repos That was enough to make it "bared" and keptp my changes history.

$ mv my-repos my-repos-bak
$ git clone –bare my-repos-bak my-repos

That was enough to make it “bared” and keptp my changes history.
