Git: Create empty branch

Git: Empty branch.md

Replace empty-branch with your desired branch name.

git checkout --orphan empty-branch

Then you can remove all the files you'll have in the staging area (so that they don't get committed):

git rm -rf .

At this point you have an empty branch, on your machine.

Before you can push to GitHub (or any other Git repository), you will need at least one commit, even if it does not have any content on it (i.e. empty commit), as you cannot push an empty branch

git commit --allow-empty -m "root commit"

Finally, push it to the remote, and crack open a beer :)

git push origin empty-branch

Thanks, man!!

You can do all those then run git pull remoteName/branch_name. But I guess there is a better way
