I pushed a file to GitHub but it didn't show up.

$ git push -u origin master
Everything up-to-date
Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'.

See my GitHub, it shows the following message:

 master had recent pushes 40 minutes ago

It should be a file like so:

Can someone help me, I'm new to GitHub.

The default branch on Git and GitHub is now called main.

See the note below from this link: https://github.com/github/renaming

Many communities, both on GitHub and in the wider Git community, are considering renaming the default branch name of their repository from master. GitHub is gradually renaming the default branch of our own repositories from master to main. We're committed to making the renaming process as seamless as possible for project maintainers and all of their contributors. This repository is our up-to-date guidance on how and when to rename your default branch.

The first screenshot shows the main branch and a message to create a pull request and merge the master branch into main, in green, right above it.

You have a few options:

1 - Either work with main from the beginning

When you create a git repository, the default branch is now called main. After committing to this branch, simply.

git push -u origin main

2 - Remotely merge master into main, delete master

Simply by clicking the GitHub suggested Pull Request message and following the instructions.

3 - Locally merge master into main, delete master :

Merge master into main

git checkout main
git merge master
git push origin main

Delete master both locally and remotely

git branch -d master
git push origin --delete master

Verify

To list the local and remote branches and their state:

git branch -avv

Notice

Make sure the main branch is up to date before pushing, so consider a git pull and fixing any conflicts as needed before pushing changes.

you want to try and push it to "origin main" instead of "origin master"
