Creating a new GIT repository on Synology

These are the tasks I need to go through to create a new git repository on my Synology server.  I already have the Git server running and a putty client connection setup.

I login to the server using the root user. Go to the directory \volume1\git which was a share I had create earlier.

mkdir newproj

chown me:users newproj

cd newproj

git init –bare

chown –R me:users *

Then logging to new project directory on the development machine and right click and using TortoiseGit leaving the bare option unclicked.  You now have a local repository.  Now push it to the arbitrary URL using the master branch ssh://me@192.168.1.1/volume1/git/newproj

You will then be prompted for the password as the Putty key has not been set up.
