How to fix “error: src refspec main does not match any”?

[AngelinaWi]

I’m trying to push my code to GitHub but getting error: src refspec main does not match any. I’m not sure if it’s a branch issue or something else. Has anyone solved this before?

The Git error “error: src refspec main does not match any” happens when the main branch doesn’t exist or no commits are present. Check your branches with git branch, create or switch to main, add files, and make an initial commit. Then push using git push origin main to fix the issue.

This is a Git error that arises when the name of a branch is not published or rather it is not yet committed. Making an early commit and making sure that you are pushing to the correct branch (main or master) is usually helpful.

This Git error occurs when the branch name doesn’t exist or has no commits. Fix it by ensuring you’ve made an initial commit, then use git branch to check branch names. If needed, run git push origin main or replace “main” with the correct branch like “master.”
