Fix: error: src refspec master does not match any failed to push some refs to Git

At times one may face an error when they try to push a branch to the origin.

git push origin master

One of the most common problems that cause this error is that your project is not a git project, thus you cannot push it to the origin straight ways.

You need to follow all the steps to make the current project a git-managed project first.

1. Initialize the project as a git project.

   git init

2. Add all files to the staging area.

   git add .

3. Commit your code to the local repo.

    git commit -m 'initial commit.'

4. Now you are good to move the project to git origin.

    git push -u origin master
