Answer 1

If you want to push your master branch on the my-remote remote branch, the correct syntax would be:

 git push https://github.com/someurl/mybranch.git master:my-remote 

(first: remote repo reference, the refspec, from git push man page)

Regarding your first error message, if it really didn't tell you to merge, then a git pull --rebase might have been needed.
Or at least a:

 git config --global push.default current

(As mentioned in "Configure Git to Only Push Current Branch").

If you are in the local branch 'my-remote' (which is the case, according to the command), you can make sure the upstream branch is set by making a:

git push -u https://github.com/someurl/mybranch.git my-remote:my-remote
