Is there a good way to explain how to resolve \"! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first)\'\" in Git?

Answer 1

You just have to mention your branch name along with your remote name.

git fetch origin
git merge origin/master

Answer 2

This worked for me:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "commit"
$ git push origin master --force

Answer 3

Follow the steps given below as I also had the same problem:

$ git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories 

(To see if local branch can be easily merged with remote one)

$ git push -u origin master 

(Now push entire content of local git repository to your online repository)

Answer 4

Your error might be because of the merge branch.
Just follow this:

step 1 : git pull origin master (in case if you get any message then ignore it)
step 2 : git add .
step 3 : git commit -m 'your commit message'
step 4 : git push origin master

Answer 5

As it is stated in the Error message you have to "fetch first." This worked for me. Use the command:

1. git fetch origin master

Then follow these steps to merge:

2. git pull origin master
3. git add .
4. git commit -m 'your commit message'
5. git push origin master

Answer 6

Sometimes it happens when you duplicate files typically README sort of.
