error: src refspec master does not match any

I have tried to follow the solutions suggested in this post but it didnt work and I am still getting: src refspec master does not match any.

Here is what I did: Followed this solution

// adding the file I created
$ git add .
$ git commit -m 'initial commit'
$ git push origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any.

When doing:

$ git push origin HEAD:master
b40ffdf..a0d1423  HEAD -> master // looks promising

// adding a remote
$ git remote add devstage -f <another git>
$ git merge devstage/master -s recursive -X ours
$ git push -u devstage master
error: src refspec master does not match any.

More information:

$ git branch 
* origin

$ git show-ref
refs/heads/origin
refs/remotes/devstage/master
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
refs/remotes/origin/devstage
refs/remotes/origin/master
refs/remotes/origin/origin

So I am definitely missing refs/heads/master but dont know how to create it.

Thanks

This should help you

git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Initial Commit'
git push -u origin master

From git branch it appears that somehow your local branch name is "origin".

You can rename the branch with -mv flag, like this:

git branch -mv origin master

After this git branch should show master :-)

Just to make sure the name is indeed the only thing that went astray, you can run git log and look at the last few commits - and compare them to the last few commits on bitbucket website.

i have same problem, to solve it, follow these steps

 git init
 git add .
 git commit -m 'message'
 git push -u origin master    

after this, if you still having that error, follow these steps again

 git add .
 git commit -m 'message'
 git push -u origin master 

that worked for me and Hope it will help anyone
