How to push a new branch non-existing on the remote server without --set-upstream?

Question

The scenario is that I have no repos on the remote server, just an account. Then, I run locally the following commands, where x is the user name and y is t

Answer 1

That is how i push to gerrit instance without adding remote

git push http://localhost:8080/scm *:*
fatal: remote error: Git repository not found

But the project must exist already

Answer 2

The right command is:

git push -u origin master

Then the next git push will be a simple: git push.

See "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"

Since Git 1.8, --set-upstream is called --set-upstream-to

You can setup a remote tracking branch in advance with:

git branch -u origin/master master 

(Then your first git push would have been a simple git push)
