I am trying to add a file to my repository on BitBucket and I am having trouble.
I am using GIT and this is what I type in
$ cd lis4368/assignments
$ git remote
$ git remote -v
$ git remote rm origin
and then I type this in (this is what BitBucket tells me to enter)
$ git remote add origin https://[email protected]/cpb09e/cpb09e.git
$ git push -u origin master
And I keep getting this error message:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://[email protected]/cpb09e/cpb09e.git'
Can someone pleas help me out? I have tried everything from git commit to rm -rf * and I cannot get anything to work at all.
One classic root cause for this message is:
git init lis4368/assignments
),Ie, if you don't have added and committed at least once, there won't be a local master
branch to push to.
Try first to create a commit:
git add .
) then git commit -m "first commit"
git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial empty commit"
And then try git push -u origin master
again.
See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?" for more.
