Bloom-release: Cannot push to remote release repository. fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.

edit

Hello community,

I want to release a repository using bloom (first time) and I am following ROS2's official documentation: https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/How-To...

What I have done so far:
- Installed the tools required (python3-bloom python3-catkin-pkg)
- Created a release team
- Created a release repository
- Create a GIT access token to authenticate
- Created a 'bloom' file to use the GIT access token
- Create a ros/rosdistro source entry
- Generated a Changelog
- Bumped the package version using catkin_prepare_release

Then I executed:

bloom-release --new-track --rosdistro humble --track humble wall_follower_ros2

Which asked me to enter a release repository URL, which I did entering: https://github.com/ros2-gbp/wall_follower_ros2-release.git

And then I get prompt to enter the repository name, the repo URL, VSC type, among others (you can see values entered below).

My problem is that I get this error:

==> git push --dry-run
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

Cannot push to remote release repository.
Hint: If you just typed in your username/password and you have two-factor authentication,see:
  http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/GithubManualAuthorization

My guess is that this is related to the fact that locally I am on branch main and I don't have a master branch.

Output of git branch is:

*main

Output of git remote -v is:

origin  https://github.com/rfzeg/wall_follower_ros2.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/rfzeg/wall_follower_ros2.git (push)

I Googled it and I found this question that says regarding having having main as branch :

works OK for regular releases (as master will just be another branch to git and Github, and Bloom is able to find everything it needs just fine)

But I doesn't seem to work for me. What is it that I am doing wrong?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Roberto
