I am not able to push on git?

Question

git push origin master shows an error

Answer 1

If you are getting this error and your .git/config file is just fine then go through these steps (this is a common problem with a submodule in git repos - again do this from the submodule dir)

1. git checkout master
2. git pull
3. (merge happens in background)
4. git push
