Plugins » Templates

When exporting to github, templates can only be exported to a branch that already exists. When you create a new repo, you have to at least add licence so that master branch is created and then you can export to master.
Steps to reproduce:

1) create new repo on gihub, add licence
2) run the following command and observe the error:

[root@foreman tmp]# foreman-rake templates:export repo=ssh://git@github.com/myprofile/template_export.git branch=nonexisting

3) run foreman-rake templates:export repo=ssh://git@github.com/myprofile/template_export.git branch=master
4) export finished successfully

When I try to push to a new branch, I would expect a branch to be created, or at least get a meaningful error message if pushing to new branches is not meant to be supported.
