Git refusing to merge unrelated histories on rebase

Question

During git rebase origin/development the following error message is shown from Git:

fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories
Error redoing m         


        

Answer 1

I tried git pull --allow-unrelated-histories didn't work, but what solves this issue for me was:

1. I copied all the files on my desktop repository to another folder and then deleted the folder.

2. Then I clone the repo again because it is a new project.

3. When I copied my files again and push it worked like charm.
