Hello @Delwar Hossain ,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community.\!

The error you reported usually happens when git is not able to find the branch you are trying to push. This is most likely caused by case sensitivity.

Could you try executing the following command in your local repository, which will list all the branches? 

git branch -a

Then you can look for the branch you were trying to push and make sure you are using the exact same branch name returned by the command when providing the branch name for your git push.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, @Delwar Hossain .

Kind regards,

Patrik S
