octopress the first commit

I am newbie about octopress, so i can face some problems. At the beginning, I cloned the octopress repository, and I created a repository is called OctoBlog, and after that I 

rake setup_github_pages

and

rake generate
rake deploy

At this point, everything seems great. I did every step the tutorial which is on octopress offical website, but when I want to 

git add .
git commit -m 'your message'
git push origin source

commit the codes, there occured a problem is 

error: src refspec source does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:enderahmetyurt/OctoBlog.git'

and I realized that there is no master branch on my repository, and I don't know how I can create a new master brach. Is it set itself when we create a new repository on github?

In shortly i want to learn, How can I commit my octopress?

One problem is here:

At the beginning, I cloned the octopress repository, and I created a repository is called OctoBlog

The Octopress Github deploy documentation tells us to use username.github.com as the repo name for an Octopress blog, so yours would be enderahmetyurt.github.com. The Github Pages Guide to User, Organization and Project Pages tells us that User pages must use the username/username.github.com naming scheme. You need to rename your repo and try again :) FWIW, I knew the answer because I named my repo username on the first try... Doh!

You should do git push origin master instead of git push origin source. If you want to use the source branch, you should put your branch to track it and do a git push origin source.
