title: How to push to github from netbeans without local branch
body: <p>I have received a github project url from a friend of mine who gave me r/w access to his repo. I downloaded the stuff with the "download as zip" button on github, worked on the project, but now when in neatbeans i do right click/remote/push, i enter repo informations, then it asks me to choose a local branch which i don't have because I downloaded manually the files.</p>
  
  <p>So I created a local branch with the same name of the only branch of the project I can see on github, but when I do "push", nothing changes on the repo. My versions simply don't get uploaded.</p>
  
  <p>Any clue ? I am new to git so sorry if I ask something which may seem obvious.
  THanks</p>
