Script for creating a bare git repo

#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]; then 
    echo usage: $0 git-repo-name
    exit
fi
REPONAME=$1
echo Creating bare git repo $REPONAME.git
mkdir $REPONAME.git
cd $REPONAME.git
git --bare init

You can execute bash scripts remotely via ssh:

ssh <host> 'bash -s' < <name-of-the-script>

This only works well by using ssh-keys for authentication.
