Why can't I push my new branch?
Here is the command you would execute to push all of the changes from your local branch ("my-branch") to a "my-branch" branch on the GitHub repository:
git push -u origin my-branch
The branch doesn't exist on github, when you push git checks the refs of origin for your branch and doesn't find it.
Add the branch as a remote branch:
git 1.8.x
git branch -u origin/my-branch my-branchgit 1.7.x
git branch --set-upstream my-branch origin/my-branchNow you can push.
There is an error in command line parsing. As you can see in this message:
error: src refspec branch does not match any.git tries to push a branch with the name branch, not my-branch. What OS/shell are you running? Maybe try
git push origin "my-branch"
