Before pushing  do a git pull with rebase option  This will get the changes that you made online  in your origin  and apply them locally  then add your local changes on top of it   git pull --rebase   Now  you can push to remote  git push    For more information take a look at Git rebase explained and Chapter 3 6 Git Branching - Rebasing

Add --force to your command line if you are sure you want to push  E g  use git push origin --force  I recommend the command line as you will find much more support from other users with the command line  Also this may not be possible with SmartGit   See this site for more information  http   help github com remotes

This is what worked for me  It can be found in git documentation here  If you are on your desired branch you can do this   git fetch origin   Fetches updates made to an online repository git merge origin YOUR BRANCH NAME   Merges updates made online with your local work

Encountered the same problem  to solve it  run the following git commands    git pull  url  --rebase git push --set-upstream  url  master   You must have created the repository on github first

Sometimes  while taking a pull from your git  the HEAD gets detached  You can check this by entering the command    git branch                  HEAD detached from 8790704           master          develop           It s better to move to your branch and take a fresh pull from your respective branch   git checkout develop  git pull origin develop  git push origin develop

One  Solution for Netbeans 7 1  Try a pull  This will probably also fail  Now have a look into the logs  they are usually shown now in the IDE   There s one more line saying    Pull failed due to this file    Search that file  delete it  make a backup before   Usually it s a  gitignore file  so you will not delete code  Redo the push  Everything should work fine now

You can add --force-with-lease to the command  it will works   git push --force-with-lease   --force is destructive because it unconditionally overwrites the remote repository with whatever you have locally  But --force-with-lease ensure you don t overwrite other s work   See more info here
