Splitting Repository Fails: src refspec master does not match any

[Tom Purcell]

Hello

I'm following the directions at : https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/split-a-repository-in-two-313464964.html

When I get to the part where you push origin to mater I get:

~/test/split/ansible [develop] $ git push origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@bitbucket.org:xxxxxxx/ansible.git'

Not sure how to proceed.

Okay I figured out a way to do this.

I simply used the online import functionality to import the existing repo into the new repo then deleted what did not need to be in each, committed and pushed.
