Dear adanacs, thank you for the post it was very helpful. I got to point 4, and then got lost.
I was wondering if you could spare me few mins and point me to the right direction.

I am accessing the drives (Cloud EX2 Ultra web control panel) from a windows machine and can also see the drive on windows explorer.

not sure how to point the user account to the folder can even go to the folder the repo i created.

plus not sure how to run those commands.

I hope i don't discourage your response by asking basic questions, i am new.

Easier way is to just use the NAS as a file based git remote:

cd repos/my-project
git clone --bare . \\MyNAS\repos\my-project
git remote add origin \\MyNAS\repos\my-project
git push --set-upstream origin master

You may be interested in implementing git-shell-commands.
