Visual Studio - Outgoing Commits - Push option disabled

Question

Wasted way too much time on this... I can't seem to get my local branch to the remote

Example (all done from VS2019 gui)

1. Select team explorer
2. Click Branches
3. Create branch from Master and checkout branch
4. Make change to a file, go to team explorer.
5. Click changes, select "Commit all and sync"

Message says: Unable to sync because the current branch does not track a remote branch. Push the branch to sync changes with the remote.

6. Here's the kicker - from documentation is says for first time, click the "push" link in the outgoing commits to resolve the issue.

The PUSH under outgoing commits is DISABLED!

All inputs appreciated... Thanks.

In my case I had to re-start VS to fix!
