Accessing a remote git repository

Question

I have a git repository on a server with IP address XXX.XX.XX.XX and my username is UUU

In my local laptop I am setting up as follows in my .git/config file:

[remote "origin"]
        url = [email protected]:/home/UUU/repositories/repo.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        receivepack = /usr/bin/git-receive-pack
        uploadpack = /usr/bin/git-upload-pack

When I use git push or git pull on my laptop, I get the following error

bash: /usr/bin/git-upload-pack: No such file or directory
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

What am I doing wrong?

Just remove everything you've added to the config file and instead:

git remote add origin [email protected]:repositories/repo.git

As you can see, for user UUU you only need to specify the path within its home.

After this .git/config should have an entry like this:

[remote "origin"]                                  
        url = [email protected]:repositories/repo.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/github/*
