Problem to solve

Since we support Custom initial branch name. We do not have instruction to push to a custom branch in empty.html.haml

Further details

Git client creates default branch as master. The customer has to change from master branch to the customer branch example main either by

git checkout -b main # creates the main branch from the command line, git client defaults to master

or by

git branch --move master main

Proposal

The proposal is to add another section to improve our instruction to help customers with custom branch push their code.

Example.

%fieldset
        %h5= _('Push to a custom branch')
        %pre.bg-light
          :preserve
            cd existing_folder
            git init
            git remote add origin #{ content_tag(:span, default_url_to_repo, class: 'js-clone')}
            git add .
            git commit -m "Initial commit"
            git branch --move master #{ default_branch_name }
          - if @project.can_current_user_push_to_default_branch?
            %span><
              git push -u origin #{ default_branch_name }
