title: How to create a default branch in GitLab?
body: <p>I am not able to push code to GitLab for the first time. </p>
  
  <p>I have created a Gitlab project on the web interface.<br>
  I have created an ASP MVC project.<br>
  I did "<code>git init</code>" in that directory.<br>
  I added remote <code>origin</code>.<br>
  I added and committed the changes and then, when I want to push the changes to remote I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>remote: A default branch (e.g. master) does not yet exist for
  ...
  remote: Ask a project Owner or Maintainer to create a default branch:
  ...
  error: failed to push some refs to
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I want to know if I can create a branch with the role <code>Developer</code>?<br>
  If yes how to create a default branch?<br>
  If no, what should my next steps be?</p>
