If so it might be easier for you to create and push an 'empty' NB project (just what New Java Application... produces), have the students fork that using GitHub's UI and then clone their forks.
Using your test repo I was able to clone and create a NB project by selecting the Java Project with Existing Sources option and giving it the src subdirectory. But if they come up with an unconventional file layout this might not be straightforward.
