Getting an error pushing to github - Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote

Question

I am having a problem pushing to a different heroku remote.

To check myself I renamed my entire project directory to _backup and then:

git clone acco         


        

Answer 1

I am always a big fan of using git pull --rebase and then git push origin master . A couple of the places I have worked since a lot of places do not allow a push -f (especially places that use bitbucket).

git pull --rebase 
git push origin master

The rebase will apply your changes after those already to the remote (online website). This video literally goes over your exact issue and solves it using git pull --rebase https://youtu.be/IhkvMPE9Jxs?t=10m36s
