See what Git told you carefully and you can guess, I think. > $ git clone [email protected]:passcod/UPPERCASE-NPM.git > Cloning into 'UPPERCASE-NPM'... > remote: Counting objects: 14, done. > remote: Compressing objects: 100% (11/11), done. > remote: Total 14 (delta 3), reused 14 (delta 3), pack-reused 0 > Receiving objects: 100% (14/14), done. > Resolving deltas: 100% (3/3), done. > warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout. So you have MASTER but not master, but your HEAD still is pointing at non-existing master. As HEAD is the way the remote tells the clone what the default branch to be checked out is, the command reports "we cannot do a checkout of the default branch."
