I have a problem when I push my codes to git while I have developer access in my project but everything is okay when I have master access Where is the problem come from And how to fix it Error message error You are not allowed to push code to protected branches on this project error failed to push some refs to

I have encountered this error on an empty branch on my local gitlab server Some people mentioned that you can not push for the first time on an empty branch I tried to create a simple README file on the gitlab via my browser Then everything fixed amazingly and the problem sorted out I mention that I was the master and the branch was not protected

I experienced the same problem on my repository I m the master of the repository but I had such an error I ve unprotected my project and then re-protected again and the error is gone We had upgraded the gitlab version between my previous push and the problematic one I suppose that this upgrade has created the bug

there s no problem - everything works as expected In GitLab some branches can be protected By default only Maintainer Owner users can commit to protected branches see permissions docs master branch is protected by default - it forces developers to issue merge requests to be validated by project maintainers before integrating them into main code You can turn on and off protection on selected branches in Project Settings where exactly depends on GitLab version - see instructions below On the same settings page you can also allow developers to push into the protected branches With this setting on protection will be limited to rejecting operations requiring git push --force rebase etc Since GitLab 9 3 Go to project Settings Repository Expand on Protected branches I m not really sure when this change was introduced screenshots are from 10 3 version Now you can select who is allowed to merge or push into selected branches for example you can turn off pushes to master at all forcing all changes to branch to be made via Merge Requests Or you can click Unprotect to completely remove protection from branch Since GitLab 9 0 Similarly to GitLab 9 3 but no need to click Expand - everything is already expanded Go to project Settings Repository scroll down to Protected branches Pre GitLab 9 0 Project Settings Protected branches if you are at least Master of given project Then click on Unprotect or Developers can push

This is considered as features in Gitlab Maintainer Owner access is never able to force push again for default amp protected branch as stated in this docs

Simple solution for this problem to have quick chat with person who has owner role in gitlab He can push one file READ md or similar to just start with Later everything will be working as earlier

The above solutions explain clearly what the problem is when you don t have control over the repo the best way to submit your code is to create a Fork of the original repo and submit your code to this new repo so later you can push it to the original one

I was on Windows when this problem appeared The error is strange because it happens before I could enter my username and my password What if there was a cache or something like this I dig it online and found this answer on gitlab s support forum I open Control Panel User Accounts Manage your credentials Windows Credentials I found two for https github com and one was the wrong user I deleted it and on the next git push I was reprompted and provided the correct credentials and it worked Some other notes - this could have happened with any git remote In the Windows Credentials I found two GitLab entries for an old account I remove both and now it works The panel

for the GitLab Enterprise Edition 9 3 0 By default master branch is protected so unprotect 1-Select you project 2-Select Repository 3-Select branches 4-Select Project Settings 5-In Protected Branches click to expand 6-and after click in unprotect button
