I am unable to push to git master, even master branch is there. I have tried git push -u origin master .

git --version
git version 2.32.0.windows.2

The commands executed .

git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin http://url
git push -u origin main   **//master is not working**

main branch is working

I have created a remote repository say git_example and then in the same name created a local repository(git_example) and tried to push it to remote.

D:\WORKSPACE\REACT\ems-backend-springboot>git push -u origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/subhashisz/ems-backend-boot.git'

D:\WORKSPACE\REACT\ems-backend-springboot>git push -u origin main

You already set your "main" branch as main via the command:

git branch -M main

and set any following "git push" to push to the main branch via the command:

git push -u origin main

so in order to push to master, you need to execute:

git push origin master

also in this stackoverflow question you can find how to change your upstream branch if already set:

git branch branch_name --set-upstream-to origin/branch_name
