I am fairly new to git yet currently using it to manage our code in a team environment. I had some rebasing issues and I fixed them using

git checkout --ours filename.txt

git add filename.txt

git rebase --continue

Now I wish to push my changes, and so running the following command

$ git push origin feature/my_feature_branch

gives me the following error:

To ssh://[email protected]:7999/repo/myproject.git

 ! [rejected]        feature/my_feature_branch -> feature/my_feature_branch (non-fast-forward)

error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://[email protected]:7999/repo/myproject.git'

hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind

hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull')

hint: before pushing again.

hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

What can I do to get rid of the error?

P.S.: I am avoiding to use the --force option as much as possible.

It seems like, there were new commits being pushed between your last git fetch and git push. In this case, you are required to repeat your steps and rebase my_feature_branch one more time.

git fetch

git rebase feature/my_feature_branch

git push origin feature/my_feature_branch

After the git fetch I recommend examining the situation with gitk --all.

This solves my problem: when I committed my code, I did a rebase (too late, there were already changes, should have done it before committing). Even when there was no conflict, I could not push. After applying the above magic, it worked. Thanks.
