Should I have used the option --bare? I was following along with the
book, "Pro Git", which is available free on-line via the Git website.

I'm not certain I am following you here. When you say you are
"initializing a remote with a readme", have you first run "git init"
or "git init --bare" in that directory? And I presume the readme is
the typical readme file that most projects have? And then you go to
your working directory and run your git clone command? And then as you
generate files in your working directory, you push them to the remote?
