How to create an empty Git branch
(Source: Empty Branches)
Create a new symbolic reference:
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/<newbranch>
Empty the index:
git rm --cached -r .
Empty the working copy (watch out!):
rm -r * .gitignore
Commit the empty branch:
git commit --allow-empty -m'initial empty branch'
Because .gitignore is under Git control, this file can have different content depending on the current branch, so if you have e.g. your project’s homepage in a branch of your source repository, the website’s .gitignore can be different than the one from the source branch.
