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

There is a simple solution to this which worked for me on macOS Sierra. I did these two commands:

git pull --rebase git_url(Ex: https://github.com/username/reponame.git)
git push origin master

If it shows any fatal error regarding upstream after any future push then simply run :

git push --set-upstream origin master
