How to push local changes to a remote git repository on bitbucket

Question

I m testing out Git and Bitbucket   I ve created a repository on Bitbucket and have created a local copy of the repo and I am committing files into it  I can t seem to push the files from my local repository to the remote repository   Here s what I m doing   git clone https   me bitbucket org me test git cd test touch dummy git add dummy git commit dummy -m  my first git commit  git push   The final line outputs   Everything up-to-date   And when I log on to Bitbucket I cann t see my dummy file   What am I doing wrong   EDIT   Doing this worked    git push origin master master   Any explanations as to the difference between this and a simple git push

This is a safety measure to avoid pushing branches that are not ready to be published. Loosely speaking, by executing "git push", only local branches that already exist on the server with the same name will be pushed, or branches that have been pushed using the localbranch:remotebranch syntax.

To push all local branches to the remote repository, use --all:

git push REMOTENAME --all
git push --all

or specify all branches you want to push:

git push REMOTENAME master exp-branch-a anotherbranch bugfix

In addition, it's useful to add -u to the "git push" command, as this will tell you if your local branch is ahead or behind the remote branch. This is shown when you run "git status" after a git fetch.

Use git push origin master instead   You have a repository locally and the initial git push is  pushing  to it  It s not necessary to do so  as it is local  and it shows everything as up-to-date  git push origin master specifies a a remote repository  origin  and the branch located there  master    For more information  check out this resource

Meaning the 2nd parameter  master   of the  git push  command -    git push origin master   can be made clear by initiating  push  command from  news-item  branch  It caused local  master  branch to be pushed to the remote  master  branch  For more information refer   https   git-scm com docs git-push  where  lt refspec gt  in     lt repository gt    lt refspec gt         is written to mean  specify what destination ref to update with what source object    For your reference  here is a screen capture how I verified this statement
