Question

In my local, I made new text file -> git add newfile.txt -> commit -> pull origin master -> ERROR!

"refusing to merge unrelated histories".

What are unrelated histories? , what are related histories?

Answer 1

This error occurs because you might have committed in the remote repository and when you try to pull the error occurs, to resolve this you could use:

git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories

git merge origin origin/master

For more information there is a tutorial link given below which will clear all doubts in git.
