Error when “git push” to github

Question

I have a public repository at github.com with 2 branches : master and test.

I created a new directory locally and did:

[          


        

Answer 1

Perhaps try:

git push git@github.com:{username}/{projectname}.git HEAD:test

The format of the last parameter on that command line is a refspec which is a source ref followed by a colon and then the destination ref. You can also use your local branch name (my_test) instead of HEAD to be certain you're pushing the correct branch.

The documentation for git push has more detail on this parameter.
