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:

Answer 1

You need to do

git branch

if the output is something like:

* (no branch)
master

then do

git checkout master

Make sure you do not have any pending commits as checking out will lose all non-committed changes.
