You may have figured this out already, but once you push, that branch exists, so under those same rules, pushing to master will work from there onwards. If you were asking whether you can create an empty branch on the remote you it works "automatically", then the answer is no, because a branch doesn't exist[0] before its first commit. A branch is a reference to a commit (which is, logically, considered the tip of that branch). Thus an empty branch cannot exist before any commits are made to that branch. [0] For the purposes of network transfer. The way to create the first commit ever in a repo (or in an orphan branch) is to have HEAD point to an as-of-yet nonexistent branch; but this won't help you in this case. Cheers, cmn
