# Create a new repository on the command line | |
touch README.md | |
git init | |
git add README.md | |
git commit -m "first commit" | |
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0ldlimit/vimcolors.git | |
git push -u origin master | |
# Push an existing repository from the command line | |
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0ldlimit/vimcolors.git | |
git push -u origin master |
But doesn't this add an extra 'master' branch instead of pushing to 'main' branch?
No.
git push -u origin master
is nowgit push -u origin main
Thanks. Commentary or links on why this change was made would be helpful.

git push -u origin HEAD
automates the command to use whichever local branch you're currently in. Also yeah, it's what the error says.For developers, if you are using a password to authenticate Git operations with GitHub.com today, you must begin using a personal access token over HTTPS (recommended) or SSH key by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. If you receive a warning that you are using an outdated third-party integration, you should update your client to the latest version.
You need to create and use a PAT as stated and linked in the article.
I'm a developer. I am trying to do a git push for the first time in several years and am curious to see if this is going to be a blocker for me.

Thanks! The date was helpful.
@codewizard13 in reference to the default branch name change, it remains a controversial topic, but here is a fairly unopinionated synopsis.
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Tried many other suggestions before this one. Thanks again.
