`fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'` when creating a new branch in git
git
Solution
To create a git repository locally, you have to be inside the project directory, then run `git init` command.
To add a file to git, you have to create a file, with some text editor for example. Then you have to add that file to git, then commit it locally.
git add .
git commit -m "A short description what you did to the file"
UPDATED based on the question update :
To create a git repository for a project
- First you have to create a project directory.
- Then from inside the directory, you have to issue `git init` to initialize a git repo for that project
- By default, you will be in master branch, to create another branch, use `git branch <new branch name>`
To add new files to the created repository
- Create new files like you create for a project.
- Add those file to git using `git add .`
- To commit the file, use `git commit -m "a Short description about the action you performed"`
Problem
I followed this tutorial but I'm having trouble creating a new branch in a new repository. This is the error I'm getting: What am I doing wrong?
