Currently, git bash in windows pointing to vikas@VIKAS-PC /D/code/myrepo (master)

I ran following git commands:

$ git config --global user.name "Vikas Sharma" 
$ git config --global user.email "vikas.sharma.in@gmail.com"

git init 
git add . 
git commit -m "initial commit"

$ git status 
On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Now, “git remote” command returns nothing. I was expecting origin repo.

So, i created origin repo as shown below:

$ git remote add origin D:/code/myrepo

$ git push origin "some-external-repo"

But, getting below error:

error: src refspec myrepo does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'D:/code/myrepo'

    finally, I am able to resolve it.

    I mistakenly thought that below command will create local repository with name “origin”:

    $ git remote add origin D:/code/myrepo

    However, later I realised that “master” is the name of local repository. we don’t need to create them explicitly.

    now, below command works for me:

    $ git push “some-external-repo” master

    Thanks anonfunc for helping me on this.
