First commit weirdness

Open flippette opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

Using gitui to make the first commit in a repository doesn't work, and somehow changes the active branch to master (this is not init.defaultbranch either, mine is set to main)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a blank repository
  2. Make a commit
  3. Observe that it didn't commit anything
  4. Open the Branches menu
  5. The active branch has changed to master
  6. git branch by now lists only the master branch, but it's not active

Expected behavior

The commit should have succeeded, and the active branch should not have been changed.
