Uh, but Git actually told you what is wrong and offered you one way to
solve the problem; why did you ignore that?
The exact explanation of how `git push` without any extra arguments
works is kinda compilcated, and I do not see fit in diving into that
right now. In this particular case I'd do what Git suggested you to do -
run
git push -u origin master
This will:
1. Take your local branch named "master", push it to the remote
repository locally known as "origin" and use the pushed commits
to update a branch named "master" _there_.
2. Record - in the local repository's configuration data - that the
local branch "master" is "linked to" a branch named "master" in
the remote repository known as "origin".
The latter would allow unadorned calls to `git push` to figure out that
you indeed meant to update "master" at "origin" with the changes done
on "master" locally.
Jumping through these hoops is needed because Git offers sheer
flexibility in dealing with multiple remote repositories and multiple
branches in it. (And this is actually exploited by Git "power users";
for instance a so-called "triangular workflow" - where you fetch changes
from one repository but push your own work into another - is reasonably
common.)
