I think the .git in the project.git directory name is a convention that indicates the directory is used as a bare repo. I don't think it is mandatory.

Hey bro, my fcgiwrap and nginx is working on the same port. How do you think i should make the gitweb run with what? With Nginx or CGIWrap? Also when i stop the Apache2 and started the nginx server, its showing the Gitweb ui but repositories are not found.

ssh: connect to host user-mi-notebook-pro port 22: Connection refused
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

when I tried to push using ssh I got this error, does anyone have an idea?
