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

If push request is shows Rejected, then try first pull from your github account and then try push.

Ex:

In my case it was giving an error-

 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/ashif8984/git-github.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

****So what I did was-****

$ git pull
$ git push

And the code was pushed successfully into my Github Account.
