I've done tests with some git hosting platforms and all of them create empty repositories. The common way to use a central git repository is the following:

• create a repository on the server
• create a repository on the client (with egit)
• add the location of the server repository as origin (git remote add origin http://...)
• add and commit some files
• push the client repository to the server (git push origin master)

These step should also work with egit.

I think it is the wrong way to create a master branch, because git need no master branch. Git can use every name as default branch.

It works as you describe. I used to clone the server repository, before pushing from local repo under egit but "add the location" solve the issue.

You can close this ticket.

Your program is really nice and useful.

Thanks
