Remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/more-letters If you're trying to push to a repo that is in a different directory on your local computer, you may see an error like this: $ git push 'Refusing to update checked out branch' error This will not be an issue if your remote repo is on a hosting service like GitHub, because no branches will be checked out there.So be sure to take a moment and check out a different branch, like master: git checkout master.If you've checked out the more-letters branch in the repo that we're treating as a remote repo, and you go back to the other repo and try to push commits to it again, you'll get an error: 'refusing to update checked out branch'.Before we move on, I need to warn you about something for those of you following along on your computers.And if I run git log, we'll see the commit I just pushed: git log.I'll be able to check out the more-letters branch that we just pushed: git checkout more-letters.You'll see in the output that it pushes the commits, and creates a more-letters branch in the remote repo.So I'll need two more arguments to git push - a remote repo name, and a branch name: git push origin more-letters.When you want to push a local branch, you need to specify a remote branch to push to.Local branches aren't automatically associated with a remote branch.Git push -set-upstream origin more-letters To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use But I can't just run git push by itself because there's no remote branch to push to: git pushДЇatal: The current branch more-letters has no upstream branch. Now I want to push this new branch to my remote repo.And commit it: git commit -m 'Add X conversion'.Now I'll stage the file: git add decoder.rb.I'll edit decoder.rb and add a new letter conversion:.Now let's create and check out a new branch: git checkout -b more-letters.I want to base this new branch off the master branch, so I'll check that out first: git checkout master.I want to create a new branch to add more letter conversions.Run the following commands in the repo you're using as a local repo:
