Configure After pushing the code when you get a rejected message, click on configure and click Add spec as shown in this picture

Drop down and click on the ref/heads/yourbranchname and click on Add Spec again

Make sure you select the force update

Finally save and push the code to the repo

Applicable for Eclipse Luna   Eclipse Git 3 6 1  I    cloned git repository made some changes in source code staged changes from Git Staging View finally  commit and Push    And I faced this issue with EGit and here is how I fixed it     Yes  someone committed the changes before I commit my changes  So the changes are rejected  After this error  the changes gets actually committed to local repository  I did not want to just Pull the changes because I wanted to maintain linear history as pointed out in - In what cases could  git pull  be harmful   So  I executed following steps   from Git Repository perspective  right click on the concerned Git project select Fetch from Upstream - it fetches remote updates  refs and objects  but no updates are made locally  for more info refer What is the difference between   39 git pull  39  and   39 git fetch  39   select Rebase    - this open a popup  click on Preserve merges during rebase see why What exactly does git  39 s  quot rebase --preserve-merges quot  do  and why   click on Rebase button if there is are a conflict s   go to step 6 else step 11 a Rebase Result popup would appear  just click on OK file comparator would open up  you need to modify left side file   once you are done with merging changes correctly  goto Git Staging view stage the changes  i e  add to index on the same view  click on Rebase-  Continue  repeat 7 to 10 until all conflicts are resolved  from History view  select your commit row and select Push Commit select Rebase Commits of local        checkbox and click next  refer why - Git  rebase onto development branch from upstream click on Finish   Note  if you have multiple local repository commits  you need to squash them in one commit to avoid multiple merges

I have found that you must be on the latest commit of the git  So these are the steps to take  1  make sure you have not been working on the same files  otherwise you will run into a DITY WORK TREE error  2  pull the latest changes  3  commit your updates   Hope this helps

Go in Github an create a repo for your new code  Use the new https or ssh url in Eclise when you are doing the push to upstream

I had this same problem and I was able to fix it   afk5min was right  the problem is the branch that you pulled code from has since changed on the remote repository   Per the standard git practices http   git-scm com book en Git-Basics-Working-with-Remotes   you need to  now  merge those changes at the remote repository into your local changes before you can commit   This makes sense  this forces you to take other s changes and merge them into your code  ensuring that your code continues to function with the other changes in place   Anyway  on to the steps    Configure the  fetch  to fetch the branch you originally pulled from  Fetch the remote branch  Merge that remote branch onto your local branch  Commit the  merge  change in your local repo  Push the change to the remote repo    In detail      In eclipse  open the view  Git Repositories   Ensure you see your local repository and can see the remote repository as a subfolder   In my version  it s called Remotes  and then I can see the remote project within that  Look for the green arrow pointing to the left  this is the  fetch  arrow  Right click and select  Configure Fetch   You should see the URI  ensure that it points to the remote repository  Look in the ref mappings section of the pop-up   Mine was empty   This will indicate which remote references you want to fetch   Click  Add   Type in the branch name you need to fetch from the remote repository   Mine was  master   btw  a dropdown here would be great    for now  you have to type it    Continue through the pop-up  eventually clicking  Finish   Click  Save and Fetch    This will fetch that remote reference  Look in the  Branches  folder of your local repository   You should now see that remote branch in the remote folder   Again  I see  master   Right-Click on the local branch in the  Local  folder of  Branches   which is named  master    Select  Merge   and then select the remote branch  which is named  origin master   Process through the merge  Commit any changes to your local repository  Push your changes to the remote repository  Go have a tasty beverage  congratulating yourself   Take the rest of the day off

In my case I chose the Force Update checkbox while pushing  It worked like a charm

This error means that remote repository has had other commits and has paced ahead of your local branch  I try doing a git pull followed by a git push  If their are No conflicting changes  git pull gets the latest code to my local branch while keeping my changes intact  Then a git push pushes my changes to the master branch

User · Answer

In the meantime  while you were updating your project   other commits have been made to the  master  branch  Therefore  you must pull those changes first to be able to push your changes

User · Answer

Open git view    1- select your project and choose merge 2- Select remote tracking  3- click ok  Git will merge the remote branch with   local repository   4- then push
