git revert ended up giving error ! [remote rejected] error: failed to push some refs to 'git@bitbucket.org:reponame/project

Question

I accidently pushed .idea/workspace.xml. and made more push after that.

My code is merged on development branch. My team member asked me to revert .idea/workspace.xml changes.

So I followed:

git revert <commit sha>

git push origin <my branch>

as commit reverted had some changes which i want to persist, therefore copied my changes from development and

git add .

git commit -m'added back changes in filepath'

git push origin mybranch

! [remote rejected] mybranch -> mybranch (pre-receive hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'git@bitbucket.org:reponame/projectname.git'

I tried to find solution on internet but could not figureout. Any help would be appreciated.

I also tried git push with -force flag. but that also did not work.

`mybranch` might be a protected branch and you don't have permission to update it without a merge/pull request. — ElpieKay, Jul 24 '20 at 07:30
@Harsimer The new commit(s) may fail some tests in the hook, like bad commit message format or building failure. — ElpieKay, Jul 24 '20 at 07:55
@ElpieKay you were right ElpieKay, I have made last commit without adding JIRA ID which failed a hook. Thanks a lot for your guidance. — Always_a_learner, Jul 24 '20 at 09:13
@Harsimer If so, I'd suggest your team update the hook to print more feedback. — ElpieKay, Jul 24 '20 at 09:20

The message in your text image says:

 ! [remote rejected]   mybranch -> mybranch  (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@bitbucket.org:reponame/projectname.git'

The first line contains the phrase pre-receive hook declined. This means that something that is not part of Git itself is doing some checking on the commits you've asked the Git over at Bitbucket to accept. That thing-that-did-the-checking does not like your commits, for some reason.

Ideally, any pre-receive hook that rejects commits should tell you why it is rejecting the commits. If it did, you should include that in your question. Any messages from such a hook would appear above the ! [remote rejected] line, prefixed with the word remote: for each line.

Per your own comment:

I have made last commit without adding JIRA ID which failed a hook

it was a pre-receive check to make sure that each commit contains a JIRA ID.

You will need to replace the bad commit(s) with new-and-improved commit(s) that meet the requirements of your pre-receive hook.
