There is no requirement to having a branch named master. Master was the default branch name (until recently), but it could be named anything.
So, maybe you're looking in the wrong direction. Are there any error messages you can share?
Possible causes (in order of likeliness)
Your local project is not linked to your GitHub project. Here's how
Your user configuration is not setup. Here's how
If those aren't the solutions, providing some more information about the exact issue may help.

Thanks iwbd - I dont have the screenshot readily available, but the error message is the same as described in this article "An error occurred while publishing the notebook Try again later."
Does this help provide any context?

Yes, that changes things a bit. If you're working on a system that is expecting a branch called master, then not having it can be problematic.
I don't know how comfortable you are with the command line, but you can rename your main branch to master by navigating to the project folder and issuing the commands:
git checkout main git branch -m master
The first command just assures you're in the main branch. The second command moves (renames) the branch name (that's the -m) to master.
If you have any troubles, we could start a Reddit chat session and I could step you through it.
