I created a feature branch from the master branch, and added and committed some change to my branch.
Now I want to push my work to the remote repository, but it failed. What can I do to solve the problem? Thanks.
When running git push command, it didn't ask for my password. Is it normal?
p.s. I am using Windows 10's cmd.

By default, the push policy is simple (since Git 2.0).
That means Git tries to push to a remote branch named after the local one.
If you don't have any remote branch for that name, you need to explicitly state that you want to create and push said remote branch.
See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"
your local first push has no idea:
- where to push
- what to push (since it cannot find any upstream branch being either recorded as a remote tracking branch, and/or having the same name)
By adding git push -u origin my-branch, you will associate to your local branch a remote (branch.<name>.remote) and a destination (origin/mybranch: branch.<name>.merge)
The next push will be a simple git push.
Try this:
$ git push origin HEAD:my-branch Or, $ git push -u origin my-branch
git push origin HEAD:my-branch push the current branch to the remote ref matching my-branch in the origin repository. This form is convenient to push the current branch without thinking about its local name.
Vs
git push origin my-branch find a ref that matches my-branch in the source repository (most likely, it would find refs/heads/my-branch), and update the same ref (e.g. refs/heads/my-branch) in origin repository with it. If my-branch did not exist remotely, it would be created.
