Dear list,

I need to create git repos on a remote server by the command executed on that server
through ssh as

` ` ` ` `
git --bare init project_name.git

you probably meant "git init --bare project_name.git"

Yes right. Sorry for the mistake.

How can I also add the master branch, so that users don't need to
execute  [ git push origin master ]  ?

What else do you want them to execute? "git init --bare" creates an 
empty repository. Without pushing to it it will always stay empty

Generally: If you want a central repository, the first one to push to it 
might do something like this:

git remote add origin ssh://big.brother.edu/repo.git
git push origin master
git config branch.master.remote origin
git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

Everyone else could do

git clone 

Now everyone will push to the repository master when they do "git push".

Is that what you wanted to know?

well.... 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 ?

Thanks
