I must confess, as a user I would like to do
1. create local repo
2. create a remote
3. push it
I don't care about creating empty repos somewhere:
My aim is to publish my work, that's it.
Comments on the steps:
1.1. I don't care whether I push a empty repo or not. But pushing an empty
one does not make much sense, so refusing this would be reasonable
1.2. When creating a new repo, it would be helpful if I can directly add a
description: git init [description] would be nice to have
2.1. I (as a user) understand that I need to create a remote where I have to
push to. It would be helpful to specify --track-this/--merge-this to
have it automatically connected to the current branch
3.1. I would really like to see something like git push
--create[-if-not-exists]. This makes sense for me, but could also
be a global configuration option (push.autocreate = true|false).
Just a comment from a user's point of view ;-)
Sincerly,
Nico
