I have a GitLab project (origin) that was originally cloned from another GitHub project (github).

$ git remote
github
origin

I made this happen by:

git remote add github https://the-git-hub-remote.git

Now I want to merge GitHub's new changes into my local code. so I did the following

In my local computer, I pulled changes from GitHub

git fetch github

I then copy the GitHub's master branch into a local branch called github-master

git checkout -b github-master github/master

Now I want to push it to my GitLab repo but it complains:

$ git push origin

To my-git-lab-remote.git
 ! [remote rejected]   github-master -> github-master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@my-git-lab-remote.git'

What should I do?

Basically, I have the same problem as Velmurugan Velayutham in https://gist.github.com/DavideMontersino/810ebaa170a2aa2d2cad

Thanks!

As illustrated in issue 17244, check the configuration of the project hook:

Check whether author is a GitLab user
Restrict commits by author (email) to existing GitLab users

You could at least ask to desactivate temporarily said hook, to allow your initial push to complete.

  • Same problem here. Would be nice to know how to disable the preinstalled GitLab wide hook. Currently I do not find the hook in the filesystem, nor do I find a possibility how to disable it in the UI. UI shows no hooks at all. – defoe Feb 03 '20 at 12:42
  • @defoe Do you have access to the GitLab server? Or is it gitlab.com? – VonC Feb 03 '20 at 13:01
  • I do have access to the GitLab server, it's a local instance. – defoe Feb 03 '20 at 15:17
  • @defoe Then check in the bare repo/hooks folder (repository storage path: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/repository_storage_paths.html), and see if there is a symlink in place in that `hooks` subfolder. – VonC Feb 03 '20 at 15:19
  • Thanks for your help, turns out it was a push rule within the local repository. – defoe Feb 04 '20 at 08:21
  • @defoe Interesting. A pre-receive hook of some kind then? (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/push_rules/push_rules.html) – VonC Feb 04 '20 at 08:25
  • Yes it's the "Check whether author is a GitLab user" push rule. – defoe Feb 04 '20 at 08:45
  • @defoe How did you disabled it? – VonC Feb 04 '20 at 08:48
  • It's a local GitLab instance, so I have access to the repo settings. – defoe Feb 04 '20 at 09:37
