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 - gt  master    looks promising     adding a remote   git remote add devstage -f  lt another git gt    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

For a new repository  the method works for me    Remote the files related with git rm -rf  git  Do the commit again git add    amp  amp  git commit -m  your commit   Add the git URL and try to push again git remote add origin  lt your git URL gt   And then try to push again git push -u origin master -f  Success    Since it s a new repository  so it doesn t matter for me to remove the git and add it again

This error can typically occur when you have a typo in the branch name   For example you re on the branch adminstration and you want to invoke  git push origin administration   Notice that you re on the branch without second i letter  admin i stration  that s why git prevents you from pushing to a different branch

I had already committed the changes and added all the files  had the same origin as remote  still kept getting that error  My simple solution to this was just  git push

For me  the fix appears to be  git     stages all current files   Apparently this is required after a git init  I followed it by  get reset   unstages all files  and proceeded with the exact same commands to stage only a few files  which then pushed successfully      git       git reset

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

FWIW  ran into same error  but believe it came about due to the following sequence of events    Remote Git repo was created with master branch  Local clone was then created  Remote Git repo was then modified to include a dev branch  which was defined as the default branch  in conjunction with permissions added to the master branch preventing changes without a pull request  Code updates occurred in the local clone  ready to be pushed to the remote repo    Then  when attempting to push changes from the local to the remote  received error  src refspec master does not match any   or when attempting to push to dev   src refspec dev does not match any    Because changes were pending in the local clone  I did not want to blast it and refresh    So  fixed the issue by renaming the local branch to dev       git branch -m dev     followed by the normal push of git push origin dev  which worked this time without throwing the aforementioned error

This error is also caused due to an unmatched local branch name  Make sure that you are giving correct local branch name  check spelling and case sensitivity   I had the same error because my local branch name was  validated  and was trying to push the changes using git push -f origin validate  updated that to git push -f origin validated worked   Hope this helps

Run the command git show-ref  the result refs heads YOURBRANCHNAME If your branch is not there  then you need to switch the branch by   git checkout -b  YOURBRANCHNAME    git show-ref  will now show your branch reference   Now you can do the operations on your branch

Try to do    git push origin HEAD master

User · Answer

Only because your local branch does not math the one in your remote repository  git push origin HEAD master  Enable you to ignore the conflict and upload your commit anyway

This is happend to me once I forgot to add files  So I got the same error  All you need to do is add your files    Add your files    git add   or the name of the files you want to add  you supposed to init first your repo with git init  Commit your changes     git commit -m  Initial Commit   Now push your changes    git push -u origin master

In my case the error was caused because I was typing   git push origin master  while I was on the develop branch try   git push origin branchname  Hope this helps somebody

User · Answer

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 on the remote  use      git push origin HEAD  lt Branch Name gt   To push to the branch of the same name on the remote  use      git push origin  lt Branch Name gt   To choose either option permanently  see push default in  git help config
