Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Untracked files:
 (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

   bar
   baz
   foo

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Have you considered using an alias?

git config --global alias.irfc \
'!sh -c '\''git init && git remote add origin "$1" && git fetch && git checkout "${2:-master}"'\'' sh'

(You'll likely have to carefully unwrap that line above.)

Then you get

  git irfc <URL> [<branch>]

where <branch> defaults to master.
So your scenario would become just:



$ mkdir non-empty-dir
$ cd non-empty-dir
$ touch foo bar baz
$ git irfc url:user/dotfiles.git
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

 (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

   bar
   baz
   foo

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

P.S. irfc = init, remote, fetch, checkout. But do make up a better name. :)
