Let's try to rad init a repo which already has a remote tracking branch for master.

First we have to create a valid remote repository.

$ git init --bare remote
Initialized empty Git repository in [..]

Then we add it as a remote.

$ git remote add origin file://$PWD/remote
$ git push -u origin master:master
branch 'master' set up to track 'origin/master'.
$ git branch -vv
* master f2de534 [origin/master] Second commit

Then we initialize.

$ rad init --name heartwood --description "Heartwood Protocol & Stack" --no-confirm --public
