“Updates were rejected because the tag already exists” when attempting to push in SourceTree

Question

When attempting to Push via Source Tree, I get the following error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=sourcetree push         


        

Answer 1

git pull --tags works really well but sometimes you can get an error even with this command. Example error message:

 ! [rejected]        example_tag      -> example_tag  (would clobber existing tag)

This can be solved with the command: git pull --tags -f
