src refspec master does not match any

Git "src refspec master does not match any" error message  solution 

The error message "src refspec master does not match any" usually occurs when you are trying to push commits to a remote repository, but the local branch you are pushing from (in this case, "master") does not have a corresponding branch on the remote repository.

There are a few potential causes for this error:

1. You may be trying to push to a remote repository that you have not yet connected to your local repository. To fix this, you can use the git remote command to add the remote repository to your local repository.

2. You may be trying to push to a branch that does not exist on the remote repository. In this case, you can create the branch on the remote repository using the git push command with the -u (or --set-upstream) option.

3. The branch you are trying to push might have been deleted or renamed in the remote repository. You can check the remote branches by using the command git ls-remote --heads origin

4. You might have a local branch that is not tracking any remote branch, in that case, you can set it to track a remote branch by using git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master

5. You might have a local branch that is not pushed to the remote repository yet. To fix this, you can use the git push command with the -u (or --set-upstream) option to set the upstream for the local branch to the remote branch.

Try to figure out which case you are in, and use the appropriate solution to fix the error.
