Hi @BenEngbers, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?

Take into account that if the repository has no commits yet, it won't show antything. You will have to commit at least once to see the treeview.

Also, I've checked in the case of a cloned empty repo, and since there are no commits, the branch master cannot point to any SHA and therefore is not shown. Unfortunately for the GUI, this is how Git actually works.

Sorry for the delay, I have been away a few days.

After a reboot, I have tried to clone a client for basex (https://github.com/JohnLeM/BasexCPPAPI.git).
In the gitqlient I have entered ~/Git as destination directory, copied https://github.com/JohnLeM/BasexCPPAPI.git to URL and entered my Github username and email. After clicking accept in the dialog, I get this popup:

In ~/Git a directory BasexCPPAPI is created but nothing else happens.

My personal github-page shows that I am logged in.

I'll take a look through that screen. I realize now that I've tested it locally but with master, so it might be that I already fixed this hehe.

I'll checkout 1.5.0 to see that I can reproduce it and then double-check master 😄

Thanks for the report!

@BenEngbers I finally had time to dig into this. I found the issue and I'm right now fixing it :)

I'll prepare a new release with all the changes so far.
