Push to Heroku denied - "failed to push some refs to 'heroku"

git, github, heroku, push

Solution

It seems that you have not initiated your master branch properly. Have you commited your files? Try (assuming you are on master branch):

git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git push heroku master:master

Another, more direct approach, is to push the HEAD:

git push heroku HEAD:master

Problem

I should start by saying I'm totally new to Heroku, and it's all looking pretty to foreign to me right now. Anyway, I've done the Heroku getting started tutorial, uploading a clone git repo, and this works fine. I'm now trying to accomplish this with some of my own code, but struggling. - First, I go to my app directory in bash. - Then I run `heroku create`. This is successful. - I then run `git push heroku master` as instructed in the tutorial, and I receive the following errors: `error: src refspec master does not match any.` `error: failed to push some refs to 'heroku'` Would appreciate if someone can explain what I am missing here? Thanks in advance.
