Hi,

I've recently moved my rpi distro to LibreELEC; I also used to have git on that device, as I use it as a centralisation point for some repositories. I know this is out of scope for LibreELEC, but still, I want to see if I can still have that. So I managed to install the git CLI with the help of the above instructions thanks for that! ) and also this, but for some reason, when I create a git bare repo on the pi, it isn't recognized as I would expect. Do you know if it's a limitation, maybe due to running as root?

mkdir repo.git && cd repo.git
git init --bare

Then testing it:

$ cd ..
$ git clone repo.git
fatal: repository 'repo.git' does not exist

On another system (not LibreELEC), the same steps would work.

Something weird when doing "git init --bare" is, in the output, it writes "Initialized empty Git repository in /git/"

Which is obviously wrong, there's no /git, and I do see created git files in my ~/repo.git

Any idea what I could try?
