fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch

Question

I\'m trying to push one of my projects to github, and I keep getting this error:

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git push

fatal: The current branch mas         


        

Answer 1

Apparently you also get this error message when you forget the --all parameter when pushing for the first time. I wrote

git push -u origin

which gave this error, it should have been

git push -u origin --all

Oh how I love these copy-paste errors ...
