How can i find issue cause in git?

Question

I have Git issues (not again huuummmmpf):
I cannot push to a specific branch
I've then re-pull a re-push even a pull -rebase and re-push .

Nothing new happened.
(I've figured out a way to send my work)

Have you any field of search to suggest?

I really want to be able of resolving those issue myself in future.
Actually, not having all the answers as a student is understandable. But I am a bit lost and ressourceless with this case (and this makes me quite uncomfortable).
Where can I found clues to figure out what is happening with this damn repo.

PS: I had so many projects saved by all your efforts, so much thanks to all of you.

$ git pull origin stef

From github.com:PierreND/approfusion
 * branch            stef       -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up-to-date.

$ git pull --rebase origin stef

From github.com:PierreND/approfusion
 * branch            stef       -> FETCH_HEAD
Current branch 25_push is up to date.

$ git push origin stef

To git@github.com:PierreND/approfusion.git
 ! [rejected]        stef -> stef (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:PierreND/approfusion.git'

Your current branch is "25_push", but you are trying to push stef. Try to checkout stef first, do a pull --rebase there, and then push. — VonC, Nov 27 '14 at 11:48

The git pull --rebase give you the clue:

Current branch 25_push is up to date.

That means git branch should show you the branch 25_push as being the current branch.

Switch to stef branch:

git checkout stef
git pull --rebase
git push

I would recommend setting your push policy to 'simple', in order to limit the push to only the current branch (as opposed to all the local branches)

git config --global push.default simple
