Error failed to push some refs to git commit - github

I'm trying to upload a navbar file to git, but it keeps saying that some references couldn't be pushed, and I don't know where I'm going wrong.

You have two separate problems here, and they're related. The first is that you've failed to configure your the name and email used in your commits, and so Git is refusing to commit any changes. The second is that because you have no commits in your repository, trying to push the branch main or master doesn't work, because it doesn't exist. That's the message that you're getting when you see “src refspec…does not match any.”
You need to configure your name and email, which are stored in user.name and user.email. Note that user.name is a personal name, not a username. So, for example, someone might run these commands:
$ git config --global user.name "Pat Doe"
$ git config --global user.email pdoe#example.com
Then, once you've made those changes, you can commit and it should succeed. Once you have commits, you can push them.
Note that if you want to use main as the default branch but your repository is using master, you can run git branch -m main and that will rename the branch. If you want to do that, do it before you push.

Why cant I upload any new project to GitHub?

I have been going at the endlessly all semester. I was able to add project from my prior year in school but have been unable to push and new projects to my repository.
I have tried deleting my key credentials via my key access chain.
I have created a new GitHub account and tried using that one.
I have deleted repositories started from scratch over and over.
I have read question on question and tried following multiple different answers on here.
What I wouldn't give to understand what is going on and why nothing seems to allow me to push a project anymore.
The most current attempt was going back to my original GitHub account.
I created a brand new repository.
I created a new folder and copied my simple python project into it and saved.

On branch master
I am hoping there is just some simple thing I am missing, if someone could explain and help me out it would be much appreciated.
Stephanie, your local branch name is "master", not "main" as you can see from the "git status" output.
If you try "git push origin master", it should work.
You dont have branch main, you have branch master. 😊
Try:
git push origin master
You need to have some commits before pushing your repository to Github.
Moreover, your local default branch name is master, so you have to use git push -u origin master instead of git push -u origin main

How to add/update files in git repository from Azure DevOps Pipeline Dynamics 365 CE

Short Version
When a build pipeline is triggered, one of the build pipeline task will get the latest files and it has to be added/updated in the git repository of current running pipeline. I tried to do it by using command line task but its failing as not git repository
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Long Version
I m tried to achieve solution pack and unpack process for dynamics 365 instance. So the build pipeline have the following tasks
Export solution from Dynamics 365 and store it in $(build.binariesdirectory)
Unpack the solution zip file and store in $(Build.Repository.LocalPath) i.e., adding/updating existing files
Command line task to commit and push the files to current pipeline repository
ECHO "Setting git config..."
git config --global user.email "xxx#xyz.com"
git config --global user.name "Admin"
ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status
ECHO "GIT ADD..."
git add -A
ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status
ECHO "Commiting the changes..."
git commit -m "Latest Customizations updated"
ECHO "Pushing the changes..."
git push -u origin master
ECHO "Customization Committed Successfully"
Updated
If a pipeline is created with 2 command line task i.e. one to create a random file in the Build.Sourcedirectory and another to commit the changes, then the git commit and push commands are working.
But if we add other tasks (such as unzip files in Build.Sourcedirectory directory) before the command line task then getting error as not a repository.
If you see the below screenshot, in the checkout phase the git repo is cloned to D:\a\1\s
And below screenshot is from command line task, where the current working directory is same as the checkout task (i.e., D:\a\1\s) and we can see that the ".git" folder is present so the current directory has local repository in it, but still getting error as fatal: not a git repository
Am I missing anything here?
By default the source files are checked out to the Build.SourcesDirectory (e.g : Directory: D:\a\1\s), it can be considered as a temporary git repository.
According to the error message, it appears that the working directory of the command line task is not under the Build.SourcesDirectory and you did't git checkout again to that working directory.
So, please try unpack the solution zip file and store in Build.SourcesDirectory, then run below Command line to push the commits (it works for me):
ECHO "Setting git config..."
git config --global user.email "xxx#xyz.com"
git config --global user.name "Admin"
ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status
git checkout -b master
ECHO "GIT ADD..."
git add -A
ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status
ECHO "Commiting the changes..."
git commit -m "Latest Customizations updated"
ECHO "Pushing the changes..."
git push -u origin master
ECHO "Customization Committed Successfully"
Please note that you need to Grant version control permissions to the build service and enable Allow scripts to access the system token.

Cannot push onto github

I want to pysh my project to a github repository called luna.git:
I followed the instructions
echo “# luna” >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/raouiyounes/luna.git
git push -u origin master
But I get this error
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: impossible de pousser des références vers ‘https://github.com/raouiyounes/luna.git’
Maybe you just need to commit.
Try this:
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin master
You can do :
git push origin HEAD:branch-name

How to Commit in github?

i am getting error sh.exe: notepad: command not found please short out my problem
Thanks
For the commit to GitHub part, you need to add (if you have created an empty yourRepo on GitHub):
git config user.name yourGitHubUsername
git config user.email yourGitHubEmail
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git remote add origin https://yourAccount#github.com/yourAccount/yourRepo
git push -u origin master
If that fails because GitHub already created one commit when you initialized your "empty" repo (it can add by default a README.md and a .gitignore), do a:
git pull --rebase origin master
git push -u origin master
If you really have to call notepad from a mingw session, you can use this wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar \
-nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"
But remember you can use msysgit from a DOS session as well.
Seps:
1.git init
2. git status
3. git add .
4. git commit -a
5. git status

github file not getting committed

I am new to GitHub, but I have followed the steps to create a repo:
$ mkdir fb
$ cd fb
$ git init
$ git add README
$ git commit -m 'first commit'
$ git push origin master
Now when I try to make my first commit, I get the follwowing error:
$ git push origin master
error: Cannot access URL https://github.com/xxx/yyy/, return code 60
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/xxx/yyy'
I am using the latest git version. Why does GitHub throw this unusal error and how do I fix it?
What if you try using the SSH protocol for the git repository, e.g. git#github.com:xxx/yyy.git, and see if that works for you?
$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin git#github.com:xxx/yyy.git
I believe that return error code has something to do with the SSL Certificate... I'm sorry I cannot help further.
