# You are trying to add an empty repository, add something first, like a readme
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push --set-upstream origin mastergit init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin "_git repository link here_"
git push -u origin maingit commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin master
git init
git add .
git commit -m "YOUR FIRST MESSAGE HERE"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin _GIT_LINK_TO_PROJECT_HERE_
git push -u origin mainTry git show-ref to see what refs you have. Is there a refs/heads/master?
Due to the recent "Replacing master with main in GitHub" action,
you may notice that there is a refs/heads/main.
As a result, the following command may change from git push origin HEAD:master
to git push origin HEAD:main
So try `git push origin main`### Maybe you just need to commit. I ran into this when I did:###
mkdir repo && cd repo
git remote add origin /path/to/origin.git
git add .
## Oops! Never committed!##
git push -u origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any.
### All I had to do was: ###
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin main
### Success! ###
