$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/foo/new-repos/test/.git/
$ git remote add origin ext:test.git
('ext' is configured in ~/.ssh/config to be my git user and host.)
Here the docs say to add some files and to do a commit. However,
I want an absolutely empty repos created, so I skip this step.
$ git push origin master:refs/heads/master
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/git/repositories/test.git/
error: src refspec master does not match any.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to 'ext:test.git'
So, this did not work. It will work, however, if I do at least
one commit. A way to do this without adding files is the
following:
$ git commit --allow-empty
Then the push will work:
$ git push origin master:refs/heads/master
Counting objects: 2, done.
Writing objects: 100% (2/2), 168 bytes, done.
Total 2 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To ext:test.git
* [new branch] master -> master
Is there a better way to do it?
