I opened up a new repository.
There are 0 branches in it so 0 files.
When I try to open a new branch in it in order to get a pull it gives me the following error.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing branch creation in a newly opened, empty repository and capture the exact error shown; trace the branch-creation entry point and add a regression test once the failure is understood. Done means a branch can be created and used to open a pull request.
