Committed changes to branch, now won't let me push upstream [message #1404123]

I've been making a lot of changes in my cloned github project (from the "gradle" project) on a branch. Today I committed the changes, without doing a push. I then tried to push the changes to my upstream github repo, but it's not giving me the option. The "Push to Upstream" option is greyed out. Why would this happen?

The other thing that also confuses me is that I can't even find my cloned github project right now. It also seems like the url for my cloned project in Eclipse is pointing to the "main" project, not the project that I cloned (https://github.com/gradle/gradle.git).

I guess your local branch doesn't track a remote branch so EGit doesn't know what upstream should be.
Try to configure your branch to track the branch you are aiming for following [1] and try again.

Maybe you cloned from the original github project instead of from your fork ? In that case update the
configuration of your local clone and change the URL of remote "origin" to the URL of your fork on
github.

[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/user/path/to/repo.git

I did make some progress with this.

I concluded that I had never done the fork, so I must have cloned from the master.

So, I forked the project and attempted to change the repo url in the project. I think I had trouble if I only changed the property value in the project preferences. I later ran "git remote set-url origin <url>" on the command line, and that appeared to work. I was able to do "push branch" from EGit and moved forward.
