Git push error '[remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)'

Question

Yesterday, I posted a question on how to clone a Git repository from one of my machines to another, How can I \'git clone\' from another machine?.

I am now

Answer 1

You have 3 options

1. Pull and push again:

   git pull; git push
   

2. Push into different branch:

   git push origin master:foo
   

   and merge it on remote (either by git or pull-request)

   git merge foo
   

3. Force it (not recommended unless you deliberately changed commits via rebase):

   git push origin master -f
   

   If still refused, disable denyCurrentBranch on remote repository:

   git config receive.denyCurrentBranch ignore
