git fatal error Path with a does not make sense

Viewed 16789

I have existing code on my computer, then I have registerd my account on sourceforge, starting a git project. Now I need to send my local project on sourceforge remote space. On sf there's the instruction page:

First time using Git

cd miorep-code
git init
git commit -a -m 'Initial commit'
git remote add origin ssh://****/p/miorep/code
git push origin master

Existing Repository

cd miorep-code
git remote add origin ssh://****/p/miorep/code
git push origin master

If I follow the first set of instructions, I have a

"Fatal: Paths with -a does not make sense"

when I get git commit -a -m 'Initial commit'.

If I follow the second set of instruction I get:

error: src refspec master does not match any. error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://**/p/ravenna/code'

when I exec the last command.

What's the correct set of instructions in my case? Why I get that error?
