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

commit your code using

git commit -m "first commit"

then config your mail id using

git config user.email "example@example.com"

this is work for me

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

To resolve this issue, while checking out the code from git itself, u need to give the command like below:

git checkout -b branchname origin/branchname

Here, by default we are setting the upstream branch, so you will not be facing the mentioned issue.

Answer 4

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 ...

Answer 5

If you define the action git push it should take it if no refspec is given on the command line, no refspec is configured in the remote, and no refspec is implied by any of the options given on the command line.

Just do it:

git config --global push.default current

then

git push

Answer 6

I also got the same error.I think it was because I clone it and try to push back. $ git push -u origin master This is the right command.Try that
