If you see this error:

error: src refspec main does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:222/project.git'

This usually means that the main branch does not exist locally. In that case, you might want to push the master branch instead:

git push stackhero master
