I am very novice when it comes to GIT. Here I have tried to explain my error scenario. Please help me with exact command.

I have to empty repository in GIT remote location. And I only have permission to clone them and Push my changes to them. I don't have any permission to direct access at GIT Remote. The repos are. funder-sceduler.git and funder-request.git. Detailed Path for them :

  1. ssh://gitadmin@svn.wps.wiley.com/apps/git/web-platform/dotcms/modules/funder-request.git
  2. ssh://gitadmin@svn.wps.wiley.com/apps/git/web-platform/dotcms/modules/funder-scheduler.git

Now I cloned funder-scheduler.git in my local. I added my changes. Then I did a GIT commit. Then git push origin master. It worked fine.

But when I do the same for funder-request.git, After running the command 'git push origin master' its throwing the following error: 

>$ git push origin master

To ssh://gitadmin@svn.wps.wiley.com/apps/git/web-platform/dotcms/modules/funder-
request.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://gitadmin@svn.wps.wiley.com/apps/git/we

Requesting to help me with exact command to solve this. I will not understand theoretical explanation, and I'm sorry for that

It appears funder-request.git is not a bare repo, meaning it has a working tree (files that come from the checkout of a branch).

See "all about "bare" repos -- what, why, and how to fix a non-bare push" for more:
Using a non-bare repo entails the risk of making the content of the working tree out of sync with the content of the git repo itself.

You need to contact the admin of that server and make it convert to a bare repo.
See "How to convert a git repository from normal to bare ?".
