A very belated reply, with some followup questions - At the time, I ran out of patience trying to apply your fix, and have only just decided to try again, after having made some more local commits.
So, my problem appears to be running "git push michaeltyson master", instead of just "git push michaeltyson". I don't really know what the former even means, having long since forgotten why I was even running it. Looking at the command, I was thinking maybe it was trying to push the original commit (the first commit of the remote branch) to the repository, which being the first commit has no changes - am I close? Anyway, "git push michaeltyson" actually worked fine. An aside - despite being on the 'michaeltyson/master' branch, which I assume is the remote branch pointing at my fork on github, 'git push' with no arguments complained that 'You can't push to git://github.com/potionfactory/potionstore.git';. That's the Push URL for the 'master' branch, which I wasn't even on! Why doesn't git know to use the push URL for the current branch? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any problems with the branches - michaeltyson/master is a remote, which seems to be correctly formatted and named, according to the docs I've read and their corresponding examples, anyway. I chose not to revert to the master branch as you suggested, as that took me straight back to the original project, which I'd since forked. So, after only a month, I've got it =) Cheers!
