Using the 1.5.3.3 release: $ cd /pub/git $ mkdir foo.git $ cd foo.git $ git --bare init Initialized empty Git repository in /pub/git/foo.git/ $ git --bare branch Note that there is no master branch. $ cd /some/git/workdir $ git push /pub/git/foo.git master:master error: dst refspec master does not match any existing ref on the remote and does not start with refs/. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly error: failed to push to '/pub/git/foo.git' $ git push --force /pub/git/foo.git master:master error: dst refspec master does not match any existing ref on the remote and does not start with refs/. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly error: failed to push to '/pub/git/foo.git' $ git push --all /pub/git/foo.git updating 'refs/heads/master' from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to e623fb5ba6fac345eb6af552b40412acdc447b31 Generating pack... Done counting 61 objects. Deltifying 61 objects... 100% (61/61) done Writing 61 objects... Unpacking 61 objects... 100% (61/61) done Total 61 (delta 31), reused 50 (delta 25) 100% (61/61) done refs/heads/master: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -> e623fb5ba6fac345eb6af552b40412acdc447b31 But what if I have more branches and want to just push the master branch? This worked when I tried it last (probably 1.5.2.2). This time I had to "git push --all" and then delete all the unwanted branches. -- Barry Fishman
