Description

After initializing a repo, I try using the botton at the bottom to create a master branch. But after typing "master" and press enter, it does not show in the branch dropdown menu.

Steps to Reproduce

2. click on botton for the branches
3. click on "New Branch"
4. Type "master"
5. press anter
6. check the branch dropdown menu, it stays only at "no-branch" and does not have other options

This issue should probably be moved to the atom/github repo

Same issue...

Looks like you need to make a commit on Git(from/in atom) first and then it gives you a master branch which lets you push.

Making a detached commit from Atom solved it for me. I was then able to publish the repo on GitHub
