It sounds like you’re encountering a common issue when trying to push changes to a newly created repository on GitHub. This error typically occurs when the remote repository has been updated since you last fetched or cloned it, and your local repository is not up-to-date with those changes.
To resolve this problem, you’ll need to fetch the latest changes from the remote repository and then merge them into your local branch before pushing your changes. Here are the steps you can take:
Fetch the latest changes from the remote repository:
git fetch origin
Merge the changes into your local branch:
git merge origin/master
Resolve any merge conflicts if they occur
If there are any conflicts between your local changes and the changes from the remote repository, Git will prompt you to resolve them. You’ll need to manually resolve these conflicts by editing the affected files.
Commit the merged changes
After resolving any conflicts, you’ll need to commit the merged changes:
git commit -m "Merge remote changes"
Push your changes to the remote repository
Once the conflicts are resolved and the changes are committed, you can push your changes to the remote repository:
git push origin <branch-name>
(Replace <branch-name>
with the name of your branch)
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully push your changes to the remote repository. If you encounter any further issues, feel free to ask for more help!
