Message 'src refspec master does not match any' when pushing commits in Git

Question

I clone my repository with:

git clone ssh://xxxxx/xx.git 

But after I change some files and add and commit them,

Answer 1

Maybe you just need to commit. I ran into this when I did:

mkdir repo && cd repo
git remote add origin /path/to/origin.git
git add .

Oops! Never committed!

git push -u origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any.

All I had to do was:

git commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin master

Success!
