Yes this was helpful. The directory change in ssh didn't work for me though, I had to go several directories up to find my volume1 and then into it. And I had to repeat the part where you create the local repo about ten times before I spotted you sneakingly clicked something in the lower right part of the screen. I spent about a day on the error "fatal: [...] does not appear to be a git repository". It turned out to be a casing issue: it is not Volume1, it is volume1. I do not feel that stupid about it considering URLs are typically not case sensitive, Windows file paths are not case sensitive and last but not least: references to volume1 in the DSM user interface (e.g. Hyper Backup) are capitalized! (to make them look nice?). This probably explains why my initial directory change attempt in ssh didn't work as well. I finally found it poking around in ssh noticing that casing mattered. This little story may save someone else a bit of frustration.
I doubt you still need info. That guy who answered you was annoying. I haven't tried this yet I'm still setting up git. But I'm pretty sure the solution is to forward the ssh port you are using in your router. I hope this helps.
A fine tutorial. Thank you for making it. As both a software developer and Synology NAS owner this was helpful in my efforts to install git.
Concise and to the point and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Thanks a lot! I have synology nas and attempt to do the same thing.
Thank you - this was a great help.

Thank you very much for your video, may i ask which extension you're using to have a password prompt on the git repo?
Have you figured out how to access the git server remotely? When your not connected to your local wifi.
