title: Git Fatal Error: info/refs not found
body: <p>I receive the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: https://github.com/username/repository-name.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if I try to push my repository without creating it first on github.com. If I create my repository first on github, then I can push branches no problem. Is this procedure routine? Or am I doing something wrong? I thought a repository could be created locally and pushed without first creating it on github.</p>
