Git Gui I can't push to Github

Question

I can't push my files to Github. Error:

Pushing to https://github.com/Brogolem35/project.git
To https://github.com/Brogolem35/project.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/Brogolem35/project.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

I don't know how to fix it. I tried Git Bash too. It gives me the same problem.

You either:

Do git pull ..., try to merge and solve the conflicts if any, then you will be able to git push OR
Do git push -f .... But be careful about this one, you should use this only if you rebased your local repository and wants to push to a non-public branch.

The first one is the safest option if you are not sure what to do.

I made the pull but still, I get the same message. – Brogolem35 Jul 24 '17 at 09:00
@Brogolem35 what was the output of the `git pull` command? Probably you are getting some conflict – Alberto Trindade Tavares Jul 24 '17 at 09:13
What does `git status` give? – Alberto Trindade Tavares Jul 24 '17 at 10:04
git status gives me all file names and locations with green text. – Brogolem35 Jul 24 '17 at 10:11

So you have uncommitted changes. You can try committing these changes before `git pull` (and before `git push`) – Alberto Trindade Tavares Jul 24 '17 at 10:17

Please read the message:

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/Brogolem35/project.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing

Before you can push your changes you have to pull the remote changes.

I guess you have a merge conflict. Try to merge the remote changes into your changes and then you can push it to the remote. – Jul 24 '17 at 09:02

The original poster asked about doing it in Git GUI. I had the same problem and resolved it by using Merge menu option

This is incredibly bad advice without explaining what the `--force` flag does. `--force` will **forcefully** overwrite the history on the remote and is of course super destructive. Use with caution. – Phillip May 23 '22 at 14:29
