Description

If a git repository is created without any files in it (without any branch/commit/etc), you cannot create a new file from the web ui.

I think your first requirement has been implemented.

@shuhaowu You can create a directory by specifying a full path when creating a new file. Git doesn't allow to check in an empty folder.

Ah I see how it works. I think the second issue still stands so I'm going to change this issue to be that one exclusively.

Seeing the same issue. Create new file/Upload File button is only shown after a branch and initial commit has been created.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs during the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your contributions.

I think this is a reasonable thing to have - it should be possible to do.

Right!
