I have got a local repository with about 60 commits. At about the 20th commit I pushed the project to a github repository.
My local commit history line (git log --oneline):
5cbd92c (HEAD -> master) Aflevering 70
fafeabb Aflevering 69
3ead1e4 Aflevering 67
37cb1b3 Aflevering 47
a8aab19 Aflevering 46
1cc0b4b Aflevering 44
4301621 Aflevering 43
353a626 Aflevering 34
2f42859 Aflevering 32
0027fc5 Aflevering 29
21eadaa Aflevering 28
be4226a (origin/master, master) Aflevering 20
6b6c5fe Aflevering 16
41c4426 Aflevering 12
0737348 Aflevering 10
I would expect that with
git push origin master
my whole master branch would be pushed to github. But instead the response is
Everything up to date
and nothing is uploaded to github.
What am I doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Hubert

CodePudding user response：
Edit, per (my) question edit based on conversation ... this is most peculiar and you seem to have hit a bug in Git, as git for-each-ref shows only one master branch, despite your git log output, which shows two master branches.
The actual branch name holds be4226a..., which explains the git push result. But nothing explains the HEAD -> master at 5cbd92c.... You do have two branch names now (backup and test) that remember this commit. Depending on where and how the bug is manifesting, the following sequence may work to fix the problem:
$ git checkout backup
$ git branch -d master
$ git branch master
$ git checkout master
$ git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master
At this point, git log --oneline should show HEAD -> master on commit 5cbd92c and git push origin master should work.
[Original answer below.]
Your output shows two branches named master:
5cbd92c (HEAD -> master) Aflevering 70
and:
be4226a (origin/master, master) Aflevering 20
Now, it's not possible to have two branches with the same name,1 so one of these must actually be some other name that simply looks like master. For git push to behave the way it does, the one named master must be the second one, that's even with origin/master; the current branch, as indicated by HEAD -> master at commit 5cbd92c, must be the one whose name looks like master but isn't actually master (perhaps it's mas<invisible-character>ter or something along those lines: if you're on a Linux system, use git branch | cat -v or git for-each-ref refs/heads | od -bc or similar).
1Unless you've somehow found a bug in Git, which is rare but not unheard-of.
