git branch not showing branches in terminal?
5
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and Git 2.7.4.
I just did git init and then git branch but nothing appears at all:
~/node/uui$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/alex/node/uui/.git/
~/node/uui$ git branch
~/node/uui$
I'm really puzzled. What could be the problem?
command-line git

You need to make at least one commit before you can see the master branch listed by the git branch command.

My guess is thatHEADneeds to point to a commit, so if there are no commits, there is nothingHEADcan point to, therefore there are no branch names.
