I am new to git and never used git before. I am totally clueless why is this happening. Can anybody help me out? At the end I get success does that mean the server repository itself is empty or am I missing something?

This happens when you are cloning a freshly created repository with no commits.

If it is not supposed to be empty, contact the person/admin who gave you the link.
