Git Push

[Angus Ferguson]

Hi,

I try to push my changes for the first time to GIT and and a pull I get this error

Password for 'https://[e-mail]':
To https://github.com/mmmmmm/ourstats.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/mmmmmm/ourstats.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

Any idea?
Regards

What happens if you first try to pull and then do a push?

The error message states that the remote repo has received some more commits from the time you pulled in those changes and now your changes that you are trying to push need to first fetch/pull those changes from remote.

One way to do that is:

git rebase origin/master

(where "origin" is the local logical name to your remote repo)

Once the rebase is done cleanly, you can then push your changes to remote repo.
