git push to second git repo fail: error: src refspec master does not match any

Question

I need work with a github repo on development mode.

For work with this proyect and after, upgrade form git (master) create my own git.

On my git server

cd /path/new/repo/l53bp
git init --bare

On local project

git remote add l53bp ssh:mysuser@mygitserver.com:myport/path/new/repo/l53bp

Write some changes.

git add .
git commit -m 'First commit'

Verify remotes

git remote -v
l53bp   ssh:mysuser@mygitserver.com:myport/path/new/repo/l53bp (fetch)
l53bp   ssh:mysuser@mygitserver.com:myport/path/new/repo/l53bp (push)
origin  https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/rappasoft/laravel-5-boilerplate.git (push)

Change on master on local

git push -u l53bp master
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh:mysuser@mygitserver.com:myport/path/new/repo/l53bp'

What it's wrong?

NOTE: Of course, ssh access to my repo, it's work.

On local, what is the output of: (1) `git --version` (2) `git config --get push.default`? — torek, Oct 12 '16 at 08:54
`git --version git version 2.7.4` `git config --get push.default simple` — abkrim, Oct 12 '16 at 08:58
If you are working on branch `development` why do you push `master` (which most probably you don't have)? — Leon, Oct 12 '16 at 09:05
OK, @Leon question confirms it: after you created the repository, you made one commit, but on branch `development`, so you have no `master` branch. — torek, Oct 12 '16 at 09:06
For `git status` and `git log -3` http://paste.tamainut.info/view/6685b0e3 — abkrim, Oct 12 '16 at 09:07
Branch development it's branch of repor github what i like work. After, y like push all my work on my own master. After, when on development branch there're some changes pull and merged on my project. — abkrim, Oct 12 '16 at 09:08
BTW, there is a spelling error in your `user.name` git config entry — Leon, Oct 12 '16 at 09:10
@Leon on .git/config there're any entry for user.name (On any of my projects that use my own git repo show this) — abkrim, Oct 12 '16 at 09:31

Although you don't show a git checkout -b development or git checkout development command, it's clear from the result from Leon's question:

git status

On branch development
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/development' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

that you have made your commits on branch development and not on branch master.

The result is that you have no branch master at all (there's nothing wrong with this, it's just a fairly unusual setup). You can verify this with git branch or git branch --list, as Leon notes below.

Since, however, you do in fact lack a master branch, this:

git push -u l53bp master

will fail to push your master branch to remote l53bp.

You may create a master branch (with git branch or git checkout -b or similar), after which you can push it. Or you can push development and never bother with a master.

Please add to your answer that he can verify the absence of the branch `master` in his local repo with `git branch --list` — Leon, Oct 12 '16 at 09:15

You need to do a commit after adding your changed files to stage.

Add to stage:

git add .

Then commit:

git commit -m 'Initial commit'

Have a look at src refspec master does not match any when pushing commits in git . This is the same situation.

Of course, run this... Question it's about repos not about process on git. Thanks. – abkrim Oct 12 '16 at 09:01
Have a look at [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4181861/src-refspec-master-does-not-match-any-when-pushing-commits-in-git][1] . This is the same situation. – codelab Oct 12 '16 at 09:13
Thanks It's similar but not same. I work with develop branch of original github. That's it's problem. I'm try solution but get same result. – abkrim Oct 12 '16 at 09:25
