Fix: error: src refspec master does not match any failed to push some refs to Git

At times one may face an error when they try to push a branch to the origin.

git push origin master

Error:

error: src refspec master does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/---/repository.git

Reason:

One of the most common problems that cause this error is that your project is not a git project, thus you cannot push it to the origin straight ways.

Fix:

You need to follow all the steps to make the current project a git-managed project first.

Initialize the project as a git project.
```
git init
```
Add all files to the staging area.
```
git add .
```
Commit your code to the local repo.
```
 git commit -m 'initial commit.'
```
Now you are good to move the project to git origin.
```
 git push -u origin master
```
