Git pushing to a branch for the first time

Question

I am new to git and want to push all the files in a branch in git for the first time.There are no changes sitting on that branch currently.

My commands are like below

And I got the below error --

error: src refspec Staging does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://****@bitbucket.org/***/***.git'

Any help is highly appreciated.

Read [ask] and try searching before asking a question. Show how you obtained this repo, what branch you're on, what changed you committed and so on. — CodeCaster, Jun 05 '18 at 11:14
Make sure youre curruent on `Staging` branch. Type this `git branch -v`.. — Truong Dang, Jun 05 '18 at 11:15
Type `git status`, and then include the output from that command directly in your question. — Tim Biegeleisen, Jun 05 '18 at 11:17
Ah. use `git add -A` and check beforehands with `git status` you actually put files to staging. — Attersson, Jun 05 '18 at 11:17
@TruongDang I am on master branch currently. I tried with `git checkout Staging` which gives me an error `error: pathspec 'Staging' did not match any file(s) known to git.` — Prithviraj Mitra, Jun 05 '18 at 11:32

Only for the first time. Note that "your_branch_name" part you need to replace. Rest is same (most likely!).

git push --set-upstream origin your_branch_name

Use below command if you first time pushing your repo to remote -

git pull --rebase
git push

The full syntax is:

git pull --rebase origin master
git push origin master

If you want to create a new branch just use the command:

git checkout -b [branchname]

If you want to push the code then use:

git push origin [branchname]

I think you are working by default on master (you didn't say you created a branch) so you should push like this

git push origin master:Staging

Try the following. Assuming that you want to send your changes to origin master branch

git push
