Simple
What you need to do is on the remote server create a bare git repository:
Then add this remote to your local git repository:
Now every time you want to push to your remote server, you do a normal push:
Although I would seriously consider using something github or gitorious instead of your own server.

remoteserver$ mkdir -p /var/local/repos/myproject;
remoteserver$ cd /var/local/repos/myproject;
remoteserver$ git init --bare;Then add this remote to your local git repository:
localmachine$ git remote add origin \
ssh://remoteserver.example.com/var/local/repos/myproject;Now every time you want to push to your remote server, you do a normal push:
localmachine$ git push origin master;Although I would seriously consider using something github or gitorious instead of your own server.
