Github: The current branch master has no upstream branch.

While i try to run the following command with a little modification as i don't want to add README.md , it gives a strange msg. The following the git setup repo echo "# Responsive" >> README.md git init git add README.md git commit -m "first commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/uname/repo.git git push -u origin master

while my command is mostly like

git init git add * git commit -m "first commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/uname/repo.git git push -u origin master

which gives me following error

fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

git push --set-upstream origin master

I had this error before and googled saved me but i want to decrypt this message. While if i understand this right, i need to setup upstream branch, but isn't master a upstream branch or i am understanding upstream wrongly. ?
