Replace `https://c4science.ch/diffusion/997/simplegitrepo.git` with the URL shown in your actual repository. You can then enter the newly created directory and create, for example, a `README.md` file. Then, add the file `git add README.md` commit your changes `git commit -m "README.md file added"` and push everything to the server `git push` ...you can now see the files on the web interface.
