Answer 1

In my case, the remote had a full disk. Removing some files on the remote promptly fixed the issue.

Answer 2

Checkout the user rights that git is using!

In my case I tried through ssh and the used system user was unable to write into the git bare repository...

Here is how you can debug your ssh connection

Answer 3

Use this command:

git remote add origin <url>
git push -f origin master

Answer 4

It can be (as the accepted answer suggests) just a moment to wait, but in the majority of cases it is linked to permissions on the remote. While mostly a non-issue on public git services such as GitHub, Gitlab or Bitbucket, self-hosted remotes might have a special user, or a group for access.

And on new bare repositories it doesn't suffice to change the folder, but instead needs to be recursive because of .git-Folder inside.

Answer 5

In my case it was caused by a problem with msysgit 1.9.5. Downgrading to msysgit 1.9.4 solved the problem.

Answer 6

Adding another local commit and retrying push worked for me.
