My take on this is that your branch "master" is not set to track the remote branch "origin/master" and so the usual Git magic of updating origin/master when you do `git push origin master` is not engaged. There are two fronts on which you should correct this: 1) Make "master" track "origin/master": In recent enough Git, while having "master" checked out: git branch -u origin/master In older versions of Git: git branch --set-upstream master origin/master Or you can even do git push -u origin master which would set "master" to track "origin/master" as a by-product of the push operation (and also update "origin/master" -- see below). 2) Actually update "origin/master" with commits pushed from local "master" to "master" in the remote repo. A simple `git fetch origin` would do that. The `git push -u origin master` encantation would do the same, just using the local commits. Most commonly a situation like this occurs when you create a branch locally, then push it to a remote repository (creating a brand new branch there) but forget to tell Git you want this branch to actually track the state of that branch in the remote repo. IMO, the simplest way to tackle this is to use `git push -u <repo> <branch>` for such a initial "creative" push of a newborn branch. A nice bonus of having proper tracking setup is that `git status` and other chatty operations will now show you how the current state of your tracking branch relates to the state of branch it tracks, like "master is 2 commits ahead of origin/master" hinting you that you have unpushed commits.
