Can't push to remote branch, cannot be resolved to branch

Question

I migrated my repos from Bitbucket or Github. I don\'t think this matters but it\'s the only thing different... For a little while I had two remotes set up:

Answer 1

Maybe your forgot to run git fetch? it's required to fetch data from the remote repo! Try running git fetch remote/branch

Answer 2

You might have created similar branch but different case-sensitive-wise, then you have to run:

git branch -D <name-of-different-case-branch>

and then try to push again.

Answer 3

It's case-sensitive, just make sure created branch and push to branch both are in same capital.

Example:

git checkout -b "TASK-135-hello-world"

WRONG way of doing:

git push origin task-135-hello-world     #FATAL: task-135-hello-world cannot be resolved to branch

CORRECT way of doing:

git push origin TASK-135-hello-world

Answer 4

I just had this issue as well and my normal branches start with pb-3.1-12345/namebranch but I accidental capitalized the first 2 letters PB-3.1/12345/namebranch. After renaming the branch to use lower case letters I could create the branch.

Answer 5

Git will let you checkout the current branch with a different casing, and it will fail to find a ref on the remote.

Just found out the hard way.

Answer 6

A similar thing happened to me. I created a branch called something like "Feat/name". I tried to pushed it using :

git push --set-upstream origin Feat/name

I got the same fatal error as you :

fatal: Feat/name cannot be resolved to branch

To solve it I created a new branch as I had very few files impacted. Then I listed my branches to delete the wrong one and it displayed with no cap :

• feat/name

I had used caps before but never on the first caracter. It looks like git doesn't like it...
