I like to create the master just after creating the bare repo. So that the users can just start working on it without "git push origin master" As I can already ssh into the central git server, I don't need any further ssh://big.brother.edu/repo.git So what should I do after creating a bare empty repo to generate the master there ? # git init --bare project_name.git # cd project_name.git .... and can I execute here any command to add master ?
