I'm confused. That error is expected if you just issue git push. My suggestion was to use git push origin -u (instead of the longer version git push --set-upstream origin myawesomefeature).

From what I understand, I think it will only work if it was push successfully before or branch exist in remote?

I haven't set that config, I use the default (i.e. push.default=simple). For me git push origin -u works.

Setting git config --global push.default upstream I get the same error as you.

The OP suggested to use git config --global push.default current though, which has the desired effect (i.e. git push sets the remote branch as the tracking branch).
