git branch not showing branches in terminal?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and Git 2.7.4.

I just did git init and then git branch but nothing appears at all:

~/node/uui$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/alex/node/uui/.git/
~/node/uui$ git branch
~/node/uui$ 

I'm really puzzled. What could be the problem?

You need to make at least one commit before you can see the master branch listed by the git branch command.

Try this command git branch --show-current
