Create a Master branch in the Bare Git repository
You can only push and pull from an empty git repository. You may encounter errors when you try to check out a ref in a bare git repository.
This article will discuss creating a master branch in an empty git repository.
Create a master branch in the bare Git repository
As we mentioned before, you can't do a lot in an empty git repository. Let's try to check out the master branch in a bare git repository.
We will create an empty directory called Test-Repo.git and initialize a bare repository.
Order:
$ git init --bare
Output:
We cannot develop in a bare git repository. To create a master branch, we have to create a test clone repository and clone it there.
We will create a test clone folder and initialize a git repository.
Order:
$ git init
Output:
Next, we clone our bare repository into our test clone repository.
Order:
$ git clone C:/Test-Repo.git
Output:
Then create a README.md file and commit it to our test clone repository.
Order:
$ touch README.md
Next, we'll add the files to commit.
Order:
$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m "Initial Commit"
Output:
All that's left is to push our master branch and changes to the bare git repository.
Order:
$ git push C:/Test-Repo.git master
We treat our bare repository as if it were a hosted server, but we use the path to the bare repository instead git push origin master.
The above command should create a master branch in our bare repository using our "initial commit".
Output:
Let's check if we have the master branch and its commits in our bare repository.
Order:
$ git branch
$ git log
Output:
Summarize
We can't do development in a bare repository. The best option is to clone it into another git repository and push a branch from there.
When cloning, be sure to enter the correct bare repository path.
