When deploying code using git push stackhero main, you might encounter 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 error suggests that the main branch does not exist locally. Instead, you might need to push the master branch. You can try this command:

git push stackhero master
