I’m trying to push one of my projects to github, and I keep getting this error:

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git push

fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

     git push --set-upstream origin master

So I tried it and got this:

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git push --set-upstream origin master

fatal: Authentication failed

Another stackoverflow thread suggested I try the following, with disappointing results.

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git push -u origin master

fatal: Authentication failed

Then I tried this:

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git config remote.origin.push HEAD

peeplesoft@jane3:~/846156 (master) $ git push

fatal: Authentication failed

Any hints?
