Thanks for everyone.
I just had to define my email and username by these two lines and everything worked :

$ git config --global user.name "username"  
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Solution 2

Try with this

git commit -m "initial commit"

git push -u origin

It will work. if you are facing any issues please share your error, so that we can find the issues and help you.

I created new directory test and CD into it
Creating new Repository into it :
```
git init
```
Creating one text file test.txt and one directory with another text file inside it mydir/newfile.txt :
```
echo "Hello" > test.txt 
mkdir mydir
echo "hello" > mydir/newfile.txt
git add test.txt
git add mydir/newfile.txt
git commit
```
After these steps when i want to have a branch by writing :
```
git branch new_branch
```
I have the error :

fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'
