does not appear to be a git repository

I am trying to set-up a production push to my server:

Remote Server:

In my public_html dir I have created a folder called Template.git

In my Template.git/hooks/post-receive file I have added:

#!/bin/sh
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/USER/public_html/Template.git/git checkout -f

My Template.git config file has the following in it:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = true` 

Local Computer:

I have added a production setting:

remote add production USER@DOMAIN:Template.git

When I run the following:

git push pr开发者_运维知识库oduction +master:refs/heads/master

I get the following:

stdin: is not a tty
fatal: 'Template.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How do I fix the above error?
