title: Create an empty Git repository with branch name as prod
body: <p>I would like to create a new git repository using <code>git init</code> command with branch name as <strong>prod</strong>. I searched all options supported by <code>git init</code> command in this <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> to override the default branch name <strong>master</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, there's no such option. </p>
  
  <p>Customizing the source code of <a href="https://github.com/git/git" rel="nofollow">git</a> is the only option?</p>
