I have two boxes, one is my local machine and the other is my dev server. Right now I'm testing [this method of deploying apps](http://blog.wekeroad.com/2009/11/23/deploying-a-web-application-with-git-and-ftp) using Git 

I setup my local repository, added the files then committed. I am on Windows 7 & my server is Windows Server 2008. 

The server is mapped as the W:\ Drive with my 'bare' repository and my target 'mock' production folder as child folders. 
-- I can get to each just fine, no connection problems. 

Here's what I did to setup everything:

1. Local dir git remote add origin w:\gitCentral
2. Local dir git push origin master
3. Type C:, then type CD testDeployment
4. Now I'm in my test folder.

A. I do git clone w:/gitCentral
