Can't post an answer although very low activity?

Question

I'm trying to help out a fellow Git user on SE (Deploy a GIT project on OVH "Mutualisé" (shared)) but I can't post an answer because I'm apparently banned.

From what I see, I only posted one question on SE about Ruby, got my answer and validated it right. I don't see why couldn't I post answers.

Could you help me please? This is very frustrating because I won't post dump questions/answers.

Here's the answer I'd like to post:

Hi Zl3n,

I just tried my [own tutorial][1] (which you asked for help onto) to if it works and it still does. I believe there's an issue in the way you understand the tutorial or in your Windows Git configuration.

Here's what I did step by step:

Supposing you have a git folder in your OVH's server home dir. On my local machine:

$ mkdir test.git
$ cd test.git
$ git init --bare
$ cd ..
$ scp -r test.git {user}@ssh.cluster{XXX}.ovh.net:git
$ rm -rf test.git

If you already having issues here, there's definitely something wrong with your Git config. Then, let's use the newly created repo:

$ git clone {user}@ssh.cluster{XXX}.ovh.net:git/test.git

That's it.

I don't have any specific Git configuration that says whether to use HTTPS over SSH or such.

Keep in mind that, as far as I remember, the OVH server hasn't access to the outside world unless by FTP and SSH. You might want to verify this tho.

Answer 1

Alright, I believe the fact that I posted this question and interacted with the comments made my reputation grow a little bit then I have been able to submit my answer.

Or maybe @Oded (from the comments) did some magic here.
