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

OK, in case you want a normal remote repository, then create an extra branch and check it out. Push it into one branch (which is not checked out) and merge it with one which is currently active later after pushing from locally.

For example, on a remote server:

git branch dev
git checkout dev

On the local setup:

git push 

On remote server:

git merge dev
