GitHub Help How to use Git and GitHub
#1

I am trying to learn Django web framework.  Bought a book that takes me through some simple projects.  It had me set up a github account in a previous chapter.  I have completed a new project that I will deploy.  I tried to push it onto github and got an error.  This is the dialog from my Windows computer:

PS C:\Users\Phil\desktop\django\pages> git init

Initialized empty Git repository in C:/Users/Phil/Desktop/django/pages/.git/

PS C:\Users\Phil\desktop\django\pages> git status

On branch master

No commits yet

Untracked files:

  (use “git add <file>…” to include in what will be committed)

        Pipfile

        Pipfile.lock

        db.sqlite3

        manage.py

        pages/

        pages_project/

        templates/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)

PS C:\Users\Phil\desktop\django\pages> git remote add origin https://github.com/oldArky/pages-app.git

PS C:\Users\Phil\desktop\django\pages> git push -u origin master

error: src refspec master does not match any

error: failed to push some refs to ‘https://github.com/oldArky/pages-app.git’

I have no idea how to deal with this.  Assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hey @oldarky, it looks like you want to do: “git add .”, 'git commit -m “Insert Commit Message” ', and then “git push”.

Also, welcome to the Community Forum! I am learning Django for my web dev class right now and it’s so cool to see what is possible with it (also can be quite challenging).
