It happened to me and I discovered that github was trying to verify my account. So you need these 2 commands:

Answer 4

By just adding an empty commit will fix issue by using

$ git commit -m "empty commit" --allow-empty
$ git push

// above make empty commit without edit then push

Answer 5

This error is also caused due to an unmatched local branch name. Make sure that you are giving correct local branch name (check spelling and case sensitivity)
I had the same error because my local branch name was "validated" and was trying to push the changes using git push -f origin validate, updated that to git push -f origin validated worked.

Hope this helps.

Only because your local branch does not math the one in your remote repository. git push origin HEAD:master Enable you to ignore the conflict and upload your commit anyway.
