git push rejected

Question

I give up! Whenever I try to push I get a stupid:

! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to \'git@github         


        

Answer 1

First, attempt to pull from the same refspec that you are trying to push to.

If this does not work, you can force a git push by using git push -f , but use caution: this method can cause references to be deleted on the remote repository.
