git: updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do not have locally

Question

I\'m working on a team with a few developers using git on BitBucket. We are all working on a dev branch, not pushing to master until a release.

Answer 1

The error possibly comes because of the different structure of the code that you are committing and that present on GitHub. You may refer to: How to deal with "refusing to merge unrelated histories" error:

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

Answer 2

I have done below steps. finally it's working fine.

Steps

1) git init

2) git status (for checking status)

3) git add . (add all the change file (.))

4) git commit -m "<pass your comment>"

5) git remote add origin "<pass your project clone url>"

6) git pull --allow-unrelated-histories "<pass your project clone url>" master

7) git push -u "<pass your project clone url>" master

Answer 3

You can try this: git pull origin master --rebase

Answer 4

This is how I solved this issue:

1. git pull origin master
2. git push origin master

This usually happens when your remote branch is not updated. And after this if you get an error like "Please enter a commit message" Refer to this ( For me xiaohu Wang answer worked :) )

Answer 5

You can override any checks that git does by using "force push". Use this command in terminal

git push -f origin master

However, you will potentially ignore the existing work that is in remote - you are effectively rewriting the remote's history to be exactly like your local copy.

Answer 6

Force to push

git push -f origin master
