git push on branch src refspec does not match any
I would like to clone a branch, make a change and push into the same branch.
I'm doing this:
mkdir myfolder
cd myfolder
git init
git clone "myurl" -b "mybranch"
git remote add origin "myurl"
edit "myfile.txt"
git add "myfile.txt"
git commit -m "my comment"
git push origin "mybranch"
but I got this error:
error: src refspec "mybranch" does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to "myurl"
what should I do?
You may explicitly specify to which remote branch you're pushing:
git push origin myBranch:existing_remote_branch
Actually it seems that you perform many excessive steps and generally the workflow is much simpler. Also it's worth to check Configure a local branch for push to specific branch
Update:
Assuming git is relatively modern, I would go as follows:
git clone "$myurl" "$myfolder"
cd "$myfolder"
git checkout "$mybranch"
git remote set-head origin "$mybranch"
... add and commit your changes here ...
git push origin "$mybranch"
I'd like to ask why you created two different git repositories, one in "$myfolder" and another in "$myfolder/<project_name>" ? Is that expected behavior? (I can imagine cases when it may be useful, but they're "corner-cases", at best)
如果要使用与本地分支名称不同的名称推送到远程分支，请使用冒号分隔本地名称和远程名称：
git push origin local-name:remote-name
