Hi@akhtar,

The most probable reason for this error is that all the files are untracked and have not been added. 

$ git add --all 

In case you wish to add all the files, Or you can selectively add files. Then commit your changes.

$ git commit -m "Initial comment"

Now try to push to the GitHub repository.

$ git push origin master

This will surely work.
