How do I move my local Git repository to a remote Git repository

Question

I have various Git projects that are on my local machine. I have a server that I would like to use as my remote Git Repository. How do I move my local Git Repositories (Projects) to my server while keeping the history intact?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all the great answers. The response I choose makes sense to my limited GIT knowledge.

EDIT #2: I noticed my original answer selection did not copy my tags. git push --mirror <path> does copy tags.

Answer 1

On your server create the git repositories as bare repository

git init --bare repo.git 

then, push the commits of your local repository

git push --mirror ssh://yourserver/~/repo.git 

Answer 2

First, create a git repo on your server

git init --bare /path/to/repo 

Then add the remote repo to your local one (ssh:// or https://)

git remote add origin ssh://server/path/to/repo 

And, push files/commits

git push origin master 

And finally, push tags

git push origin --tags
