It doesn t recognize that you have a master branch  but I found a way to get around it  I found out that there s nothing special about a master branch  you can just create another branch and call it master branch and that s what I did   To create a master branch   git checkout -b master   And you can work off of that

One classic root cause for this message is   when the repo has been initialized  git init lis4368 assignments   but no commit has ever been made  Ie  if you don t have added and committed at least once  there won t be a local master branch to push to  Try first to create a commit   either by adding  git add    then git commit -m  quot first commit quot   assuming you have the right files in place to add to the index  or by create a first empty commit  git commit --allow-empty -m  quot Initial empty commit quot   And then try git push -u origin master again  See  quot Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch  quot  for more
