Using those, the same error occurs but adds the following lines

The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
error: the requested upstream branch 'origin/master' does not exist

adding openshift to the command prompts me for a username/pass for the github in NodeBB, if that helps.

Wow man, thanks! That got me all the way to the very last command

git push origin master

When I do this, the following error is what outputs

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Not a windows users, using Ubuntu 14.04

Step 3 is the same line of code that is giving me problems:

 cd nodebb && git remote add upstream -m master https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git

When I use CD, it CD's on my local machine and not in openshift - is that the intention of this command? The GIT command gets the following error when ran by itself

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home/dopers)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

and I'm stuck on step 6 of the documentation, and as soon as I try to CD into the nodebb directory. I'm confused about the usage of the commands too, because it looks like after you exit SSH these are local commands, not ones within openshift? Anybody have any guidance?
