I want to create a new shared git repository for a new project (on a VM).
I ran git --bare init from /.../git/new_proj.git, but a master br
git --bare init
/.../git/new_proj.git
i have same issue and fixed - first of all use git add command after that use commit command finally use git branch to show your branched my git version 1.9
git add -A git commit -m "initialize" git branch
