I also recommend creating an entry in `~/.ssh/config` for your Git server:
```ssh_config
Host <host>
Host <host>-git
Hostname <hostname>

### Server side
Next step is to make the `git` account accessible over SSH.
To do this, log in as the `git` user and create a `.ssh` directory with an `authorized_keys` file with the public half of the `<git-key>` keypair:
`ssh-copy-id` won't work because the `git` user doesn't have a password.
So instead, log in as the `git` user and create a `.ssh` directory with an `authorized_keys` file with the public half of the `<git-key>` keypair:

You now have a Git "server" with a repo named `<repo-name>`.
To add something to this repo, on your client machine create a new repository and add `<host>:/srv/git/<repo-name>.git` as remote and push your project to it.
To add something to this repo, on your client machine create a new repository and add `<host>-git:/srv/git/<repo-name>.git` as remote and push your project to it.
Common practice dictates that this remote be called `origin`:

cd my-fancy-project
git init
git remote add origin <host>:/srv/git/<repo-name>.git
