[BUG] Remote branch 'HEAD' not found in upstream origin

[spacehobo]

Describe the bug

I used the CLI pass command to push a repository of my encrypted passwords to a remote server. This created a "bare" git repository on that system. When I try to set up Password Store by cloning that remote repository, it complains that there is no HEAD for it to pull. What it should be pulling is main or master, or allowing me to specify the tag/branch to pull.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a repository with the Password Store CLI
2. Push it to a remote server, creating a bare repository that other systems sync from
3. Start up the Password Store Android app, add a correct SSH key, and try pulling from a URL such as ssh://me@myserver.example:22/home/me/.secrets/pass.git/
4. 4. See error

Expected behavior

I expected it to sync down the files, and then prompt me further to set up my GPG key so I could read and write the data within

You cannot push a repository to a server and create a bare repository on that server at the same time.

Instead, create the bare repo locally on a computer from an initialised pass repo and scp the bare repo to the server:

PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.pass pass init 1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.pass pass git init
git clone --bare .pass .pass.git/
scp -r .pass.git me@myserver.example:.secrets/

or create an empty bare repo locally, scp it to the server, clone it from there, initialise it as a pass repo and push the changes to the server:

git init --bare .pass.git
scp -r .pass.git me@myserver.example:.secrets/
git clone ssh://me@myserver.example/~/.secrets/.pass.git
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.pass pass init 1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=~/.pass pass git push

Now you can clone the bare repo to APS.

Ah sorry yes, I thought it was pass git push that did this, but I may have misremembered.
