rejected master -> master (non-fast-forward)

Question

I'm trying to push my project (all files in a new repository). I follow the steps but when I push with git push -u origin master I get this error:

! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)

error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:asantoya/projectnewbies.git'

To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') before pushing again.  See the
'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.

I got this error many times and can't figure out what to do.

Answer 1

According to my understanding, your local branch is out of sync with your tracking branch.

Depending upon your workflow and project rules, you might want to use git pull --rebase.

Or Try this:

 git push -f origin master
