Git non fast forward failed to push some refs WHAT?

sudo git push
To /srv/git/drupal-6-agaric-core.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to '/srv/git/drupal-6-agaric-core.git'

Uh... right.

But do not fear! This error likely just means other changes have been made that you should pull in first.

Watch:

Helpful, thanks

It was not exactly obvious...

Eric

And don't forget to diff

If you're not sure what the conflict is between the two branches, git diff saves the day (more so than git status).

Thanks so much! Works

Thanks so much! Works perfectly.

sudo?

Sudo is the root user, yes? Is it a good idea to have the drupal application owned by root? Not sure if I am correct here.

Yet Another Solution

I ran into this same issue, what I had to do to resolve the issue was a bit more complex. I tried a simple pull but kept getting some issues about unmerged files (could of been my own ignorance). But to resolve the issue I created a developement branch of my current git repo, reverted the master with --hard, pulled the remote to current, merged current with developement then pushed it to the remote. Something along the lines of whats listed below, it seems to be basiclly a "copy, sync, copy". Hope this helps, also note the commands are not exactly what I did just what was done from memory. Be certain you know what you are doing or have a backup with these commands, do them wrong and you could loose commits completely.

local: git branch devel
local: git reset --hard
remote: git reset --hard
local: git pull
local: git merge devel
local: git push
remote: git commit -m

error : src refspec test does not match any.

error : src refspec test does not match any.
fatal : The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error : failed to push some refs to ‘git@github.com: {username}/{projectname}.git’
