Git error when trying to push -pre-receive hook declined

Question

When I try and push a change I've committed, I get the following error.

git.exe push -v --progress  "origin" iteration1:iteration1

remote:***********************************************

To ssh://git@my/cit_us.git

! [remote rejected] iteration1 -> iteration1 (pre-receive hook declined)

error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@my/cit_us.git'

What's going on?

Answer 1

If you are maintaining the repo then the problem is with setup on the server-side.

If the repo is maintained by some other person, ask that person to update the hook so that you will get the reasons for rejection.
