You mentioned you are trying to pull from git but the command is git push. Anyways, most probably you are getting this error because your repo url is not set locally.

1. If this is the first time you are sending git request from your system, you might want to setup your username by git config --global user.name "John Doe"
2. If you have already used git on your system, try checking the git configuration on your system using git config --list command to check whether your repo URL is setup or not.
3. If the url is not setup run git remote set-url origin https://github.com/www-prolificme-com/mahawiki/
4. Run git remote -v to verify if your url is setup
5. git add .
6. git commit -m "your message"
7. git push origin master
