Here is what happens when I try that: git push github :rcu/next Username: Password: error: unable to push to unqualified destination: rcu/next The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref. error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/paulmckrcu/linux' So what am I missing here?
