GIT008

Error

No branch specified for git push and the current branch doesn't track a remote branch.

Why this matters

Without an explicit branch, git may push to an unexpected location or fail with a confusing error.

How to fix

Specify the branch explicitly:

git push origin feature-branch

Or set up tracking for the current branch:

# Push and set upstream tracking:
git push -u origin feature-branch

# Future pushes on this branch:
git push

Check current tracking

# Show branch tracking configuration:
git branch -vv
