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

Another cause of this problem (apparently not so common)...

My server was behind ~12 hours when I did a push

I configured NTP on the server SYNC my clock.

I executed a new git push which led the error discussed in this post.
