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

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
