I have a local branch named master and its upstream is set to origin/main

But whenever I push to remote repo using git push -u origin main it shows error:

error: src refspec main does not match any error: failed to push some refs to

But it works fine when I use git push -u origin HEAD:main

So what's the Problem in here?

CodePudding user response：

git push origin main means "push local branch main" and you don't have local branch main, you have master. After the first git push -u origin master:main you should push using git push origin or even bare git push. Or continue pushing using git push origin master:main
