Is it possible to create a project from Git without 'master' branch?

Question

I only have a develop branch in my repository at the moment. When I try to create a project from it in Teamcity, I get the following error message:

Cannot find revision of the default branch 'refs/heads/master' of vcs root 'dummy VCS root (jetbrains.git)'

The question i:s how can I create a TeamCity build from repo without master branch? In Jenkins usually it makes no problem to build any branch

Every project should really have a "master" branch. Maybe there's some way you can "get around it"; maybe your particular scenario is just a TeamCity restriction. But in the long run, you'd just be causing yourself grief if you DIDN'T have a "master". — paulsm4, Jun 29 '19 at 19:14
@paulsm4 from my point of view it is too early now. I will most probably squash all develop commits as an initial commit for master when ready — Kirill, Jun 29 '19 at 19:17
squash all develop commits -> master; push new master -> TeamCity origin: sounds like a good idea :) — paulsm4, Jun 29 '19 at 19:19
Yes, you colud set any name as you wish. But always you need to identify some brach as 'main or default branch' . if you have just one branch, by definition is your 'default branch' . — Mate, Jun 29 '19 at 19:23
So, in temacity change vcs settings and set development instead of master. Master it's just a name... The important step, it's which branch you set as default or main in your repo — Mate, Jun 29 '19 at 19:31
as it is quite ok with git, I think this is really teamcity specific, isn't it? — OznOg, Jun 29 '19 at 19:33

Now your default branch is develop, not a master. Also, you able to see all branches because of the Branch specification
