I experienced the same issue. For me the problem occurred because I hadn't signed into git correctly. Before you can push code to the master branch, you must have first made your initial commit with the command git commit -m "My first commit". You may have gotten this response when trying to do that (like I got):

git: fatal unable to auto-detect email address (got "some wrong email").

If that was the response you got, you must now enter your desired git email and username with the commands:

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

git config --global user.name "Your Username"

After you've done that, try the push command again

git push heroku master

It should work now.
