Looks like your two master branches have diverged.

# HEAD at your master
$ git checkout master

# your master on a new branch
$ git checkout -b diverged.master

# get origin's master
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch origin master
$ git reset --hard origin/master

# Create a new branch for the diverged feature
$ git checkout -b feature.branch

# Merge your diverged changes into the new feature branch
$ git merge diverged.master

# Do any conflict resolutions

# Merge feature branch to master
$ git checkout master
$ git merge feature.branch

# Push to remote
$ git push origin master

Edit

I missed the part about this being a brand new repo.. makes this slightly easier

# HEAD at your master
$ git checkout master

# your master on a new branch
$ git checkout -b diverged.master

# delete master branch
# git branch -D master

# pull master from origin
$ git pull origin master

# HEAD at origin's master
$ git checkout origin master
$ git pull # for good measure

# merge your changes
$ git merge diverged.master

# push your changes
$ git push origin master
