I have a directory that i want to turn into a git project.
I created a new project in gitlab and then i did the following:
git init
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:a/b/c.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
In addition, I created the following .gitignore file:
*
!*/scripts
!*/jobs
After running git push -u origin master i got the following error:

remote: A default branch (e.g. master) does not yet exist for a/b/c
remote: Ask a project Owner or Maintainer to create a default branch:

remote:
To gitlab.com:a/b/c.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@gitlab.com:a/b/c.git'
What could be the issue? Please advise
This is linked to issue 27456 and merge request 6608:
document the need to be owner or have the master permission level for the initial push
So it might be a permission level, not a branch issue.
See commit 81ee443:
You will need to be owner or have the master permission level for the initial push, as the master branch is automatically protected.
