Answer 1

Try following command:

git push origin HEAD:master

Git threw the below error when I tried simply git push. So clearly this is because Git matches the local and remote branch while pushing commits. This is the push.default behavior, you can find out more details here.

fatal: The upstream branch of your current branch does not match
the name of your current branch.  To push to the upstream branch

    git push origin HEAD:

To push to the branch of the same name on the remote, use

    git push origin 

To choose either option permanently, see push.default in 'git help config'.
