git - Can't push to remote branch, cannot be resolved to branch

Question

I migrated my repos from Bitbucket or Github. I don't think this matters but it's the only thing different. For a little while, I had two remotes set up:

origin: bitbucket
github: github

Then I removed both and pointed origin to github:

git remote remove origin
git remote remove github
git remote add origin https://github....

Test push of develop branch:

git push origin develop

Everything up to date, ok, good.

Create a new branch for some work as per usual:

git checkout -b Feature/Name

Update a file or two. Attempt to push to remote:

git push origin Feature/Name

This results in the error:

fatal: Feature/Name cannot be resolved to branch

Search online for this issue, find some stuff about ensuring HEAD is correct, others about making sure I've got my branch name case correct (though, at this point the branch doesn't exist on the remote yet). Unable to resolve.

Ran this command:

git push --all -u

This got my Feature/Name branch to github, but still see same behavior as prior:

git push origin develop
git push origin Feature/Name

The first works while the second throws the same error. Why?

Answer 1

I was having this issue as well, and it was driving me crazy. I had something like feature/name but git branch -a showed me FEATURE/name. Renaming the branch, deleting and recreating it, nothing worked. What finally fixed it:

Go into .git/refs/heads

You'll see a FEATURE folder. Rename it to feature.
