git: updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do not have locally

Question

I\'m working on a team with a few developers using git on BitBucket. We are all working on a dev branch, not pushing to master until a release.

Answer 1

I had this error and it was because there was an update on the server but SourceTree was not showing any updates available (possibly because I was offline when it last checked). So I did a refresh in source tree and now it shows 2 items to push instead of 1 item.

So be sure to press refresh or pull if you get this error and then try again.
