Cannot push to GitHub - keeps saying need merge

Question

I\'m new to GitHub. Today I met some issue when I was trying to push my code to GitHub.

Pushing to git@github.com:519ebayproject/519ebayproject.git
To git@gi         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I had "mybranch" checked out, and had done git pull, so I couldn't figure out why the push wasn't working. Eventually, I realized that I was pushing the wrong branch. I was typing git push origin master instead of git push origin mybranch.

So if you've already done git pull and still getting this message, make sure you're pushing the correct branch.
