[Regression] Cannot create and clone repo from template repo #7055
Description
Describe the bug
This worked around 2.21 but has been broken since at least 2.22: running gh repo create {name} --template {template} --clone fails with error,
fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/main
failed to run git: exit status 128
It does create the repo from the template correctly and a local directory for the clone is created with a .git directory, but no content is checked out. If I go into the fetched repo and run, say, git pull --ff-only, no tracking branch is set.
This does not repro if you don't specify a --template e.g., gh repo create {name} --clone.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Type this:
gh repo create example --template heaths/template-rustlang --clone --public - See error
Expected vs actual behavior
The repo should be created, cloned, and working directory checked out. This worked up until, IIRC, 2.21.
