Thanks a lot for your time and help. I am happy with the description you have added. So no further action is needed :)

Hello.  I am glad to hear that you have resolved the problems on your own and that you have been able to upload your git history.  Sorry that you did not get a quicker response.  Sometimes all of the volunteers are busy.

In case other people search and find this ticket let me add a little more description to hopefully help them out.  Mostly this is described in the documentation page here.  Which is the best place for future people to look because we can update that page.  (Which I see is in need of some updates as git has changed somewhat since it was written.)  Also git is complex, subtle, and fickle with various differences with each version.  It's difficult to document it sufficiently in just a few words.  It needs a book.

https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/

In short summary here however: While located in the local sandbox of the developer directory one needs to create a new remote repository in the git configuration.  Then push to that remote.

git remote add origin ssh://git.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/projectnamehere.git

git push --follow-tags -u origin master

The --follow-tags option is new in newer versions of git and is now preferred over the previous --tags option.  It should be used if available instead of the --tags option.

The default names used here are arbitrary and you may use any names for remote branches that you wish.  Please refer to the upstream git documentation for the full details.

We always like to update the "unamed project" description.  Unfortunately this requires admin action at this time.  Since I am answering this ticket I set it for your project to the following.  I took it from your project description page.  If you would like something different please simply ask and one of us will be happy to change it.

Add fixed date-stamps with simple (and customizable) aux files and LuaLaTeX

Hello hackers,

Recently my project named datestamp got approved on Savannah. This software is already at its beta state and has used Git for information tracking so far. I want that ready git-project with its history to be visible on Savannah. I have waited for more than one day after the approval for the creation of Git at the frontend, but so far this page is blank only.

Right now on my local system, I have a directory named datestamp/ which includes a .git/ directory with all the history. I have enabled generated an SSH key on my system and added it to my Savannah profile. I also have a GPG key which I have added to the project. Which step am I missing in order to add the git-repository here successfully?
