fatal: No configured push destination

The remote repository is just another directory (both on the desktop of windows7) Using the Windows-Bash Version of git

Both repositories show eachother when entering the git remote command to list all the linked repositories....

Not sure why'm getting this error

AAro@AAro-PC MINGW64 ~/desktop/firstrepository (new_feature)
$ git push
fatal: No configured push destination.
Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using

    git remote add <name> <url>

and then push using the remote name

    git push <name>


AAro@AAro-PC MINGW64 ~/desktop/firstrepository (new_feature)

:point_right: It sounds like you have not configured a default remote.

You can set the default upstream with git push -u <remote_name> <local_branch_name>. See the documentation for git push for more details.
