Error failed to push some refs to git commit-CodePudding

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.

PS E:\navbar> git init

CodePudding user response：

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 [email protected]

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.
