So, simply explaining my current situation:

  • I kept pushing changes into origin master (no branches made yet)
  • I decided to change the commit message of the initial commit of the Github Repository
  • I did $ git rebase -i --root and change the commit message successfully

  • I tried to force push by doing $ git push --force, but to get the following error:

    fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.  
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use 

git push --set-upstream origin master.

  • I tried to follow the instruction, but to get:

! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed
to push some refs to 'git@github.com:BLAHBLAH.git' hint: Updates were
rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its
remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g. hint: 'git pull
...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards'
in 'git push --help' for details.

What am I doing wrong?

If you are only trying to modify the last commit - use ammend

# Change the latest commit message
git commit --amend --no-edit -m"<new message>

To push your changes:

Use this command: 

# It will set up the "track" and will force the push
git push --set-upstream origin master -f
