I have faced the same issue and resolved as follows  if you have a project in local folder then follow the steps     create a new repo in guthub go to local folder and do  git init  git remote add origin  with your repo url     simply copy from your repo git add -A git commit -m  your commit  git push -u origin master

Your origin repository is ahead of your local repository  You ll need to pull down changes from the origin repository as follows before you can push  This can be executed between your commit and push   git pull origin development   development refers to the branch you want to pull from  If you want to pull from master branch then type this one   git pull origin master

In my case Github was down   Maybe also check https   www githubstatus com   You can subscribe to notifications per email and text to know when you can push your changes again

Try this   git push -u origin master git push -f origin master  Sometimes  1 works and sometimes  2 for me  I am not sure why it reacts in this way
