The problem is that you're using unquoted angle brackets. If your branch is called add-fata-branch, then you should write git push origin add-fata-branch without the angle brackets. If your branch is really called <add-fata-branch> (which is not recommended), you must put quotation marks around it: git push origin "<add-fata-branch>".

If you're reading a guide, be aware that the angle brackets are designed to indicate a placeholder and shouldn't be typed literally.
