I followed instructions here to create a new branch. I executed the following commands from an EC2 Instance where I've cloned the repo:

$ git branch
  * master
$ git branch solr
$ git checkout solr
$ git branch
   master
  * solr
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "adding a change from the feature branch"
$ git checkout master
$ git push origin solr

But the push command gives me the following error:

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I'm a newbie to git. Please could someone help. Thanks

Answer 1

The remote was missing. Fixed using:

git remote add origin https://bitbucket.org/usr/repo
