Octopress pushing error to GitHub - ruby

I'm trying to push an octopress to github page,everything has worked fine up to now but when i do the rake deploy command after displaying octopress files i get the following error
To git#github.com:rukshn/rukshn.github.io.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git#github.com:rukshn/rukshn.github.io.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull')
hint: before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
what's the problem?

Since this is the master branch, i.e., the one running your generated pages, you need to drop into the _deploy directory, then do the git pull origin master. Somehow your deploy directory has gotten out of sync. Do you have more than one local repo you write to and deploy from? (Say on different machines...) If you do, then you should always make sure to sync your the sources on the various repos as well.

do
cd _deploy
git reset --hard origin/master
cd ..
and try again
rake generate
rake deploy

Try:
git checkout source
rake gen_deploy

#slavik comment works like a charm.
#Benjamin I think #rksh skipped below steps,
Don't forget to commit the source for your blog.
git add .
git commit -m 'add source code to source branch'
git push origin source

I met the problem and solved it by removing the master branch in the _deploy folder in the source branch. The detailed commands are as follows:
// change directory to _deploy
cd _deploy
// check out local master branch
git checkout master
// rename local master to master2
git branch -m master2
// list of remote branch
git branch -r
// create a new local master branch and tracking remote master branch
git checkout origin/master -b master
// pull the remote master branch, ensure that the local master branch has Already up-to-date.
git pull
// delete the local master2 branch if not needed.
git branch -d master2

Laravel - bitbucket pull / push

I'm totally confused how I should add my laravel project to my bitbucket profile and repository. That project that I am adding should be used by me and my college colleagues and they all have to push their changes to the project. How it works ? And how can I pull those changes to my local project on my PC ?
Please help. Thanks!
This can be achieved by creating a repository on bitbucket. Then navigating to the project on your local environment and running the following commands:
cd my-laravel-project
git init
git remote add origin git#bitbucket.org:yourusername/my-laravel-app.git
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
Colleagues can then clone the repository using the following command:
git clone git#bitbucket.org:yourusername/my-laravel-app.git
cd my-laravel-app
after making changes they can be committed using:
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "Fix database connection"
git push
The changes made by colleagues can be retrieved using:
git pull
Merging can be achieved by first pulling the target branch into the current branch then comparing and committing the changes:
git pull origin master
// review the changes
git add -A
git commit -m "Merge changes"
git push

BitBucket - error: failed to push some refs

I have some projects I would like to upload on my bitbucket private profile. I performed the following steps but I get an error.
Convert my project to git with: git init
Next:
git add
git commit -m "some message"
I created a bitbucket repository and version control system is GIT.
I then type this (of course with real account name and reponame and repo owner):
git remote add origin https://<repo_owner>#bitbucket.org/<accountname>/<reponame>.git
Finally,
git push -u origin master
I did all of this and my terminal gives me this error:
To https://bitbucket.org/milosdev_me/lfs.git
! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://milosdev_me#bitbucket.org/milosdev_me/lfs.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.
Try:
git push origin master --force
This works for me.
Your master branch has some code that you don't locally have, and to prevent you from conflicts, it doesn't let you to push further changes, before you have them locally. To resolve this, pull all the changes to your local repository (your project):
git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories
After that, you will have all the code that is available on your master branch.
NOTE: Be careful, pulling the code from remote branch might mess up all the changes locally. Make sure to save those changes somewhere, or create another branch locally where you will pull your origin master branch, so it doesn't mess up your changes.
Your issue is that you have different things between your local repository and your git repository (probably a readme file that you created automatically), so you have two options:
use git pull origin master, with this command, you will pull from your git repository, but it will cause a merge conflict, which you have to resolve using an IDE (recommended to beginners) or through cmd.
use git push origin master --force, this way, you will force your push from your local repository to your git repository, ignoring any merge conflict by overwriting data. I'm not sure, but I think it will overwrite all git repository data with you local repository data (which is what you want).
Adding --force option is a bad idea
Either rebase it or pull the code, merge it and push it.
git pull --rebase origin master
git push -u origin master
Your remote repository and local repository have differences, something new in remote repository. So for pushing you need pull changes, from remote, previously. Try do:
git pull
git push -u origin master
The issue is because your remote repository and local repository have differences.I had same issue and i tried all the above mentioned solution but nothing worked for me.
For me the scenario was :- I already had my branch in remote repository.If you have the same scenario then follow below steps:-
run command 'git pull'
delete branch from local repository
checkout that particular branch using "checkout as a new local branch" from
the Remote repository.
run command 'git branch -u <your_branch_name>'
run command 'git push or git push --force'
or you can try directly from step 4 first , if it does not work then follow entire steps.Hopefully it will help someone.
If you have your bitbucket account linked to jira.
(this answer will work for you, only if you have your jira account linked to bitbucket)
I was having the same problem trying to push my current branch with the origin.
for example:
my branch name was:
feature/PREFIX-000-new-name-branch.
previous commit:
git commit -m "Write your commit here"
so far it was not working.
you have to mentioned the ticket name in the commit.
if you have made the commit, make an --amend to rename your commit and retry it.
git commit --amend -m "PREFIX-000 Write your commit here"
try the push again.
If you are using BitBucket, this issue occured when I tried to push to a branch but that branch has writing disabled via the repository settings.
if you have already created a project locally and you want to upload it to git,
you will then need to do:
git status to see the changes you need to upload
git add . to add those changes to your repo
git commit -m "" to add a commit message
git push origin master
that way I solved the very same problem I
was having.
it might be a configuration issue
I fixed this issue after updating the global user.email value with my email
git config --global user.email my#email.com
Note: You need to delete the previous commit because it had the wrong email in the commit

How can I get changes from master into feature branch

Using windows 7 and git version 2.5.3 and I am trying to update my featurebranch with the latest from the master:
git checkout myfeaturebranch
git pull origin master
There are no errors but when I go:
git checkout master
then one of the files is different to the same file in the featurebranch. What could have caused this? Did I stuff up the tracking settings or what could it be? I would expect it to be the same?
What you did is just simply pull the remote tracking from master. Then when you checkout master again, there is no different.
If you meant to merge current master to your feature branch. You can do this:
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git checkout featurebranch
git merge master
I needed to add tracking: git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master

Unable to update my GitHub from my Mac

Why am I unable to update my GitHub from my Mac?
git status produces the following:
On branch master Changes to be committed: (use "git reset HEAD
<file>..." to unstage)
new file: file.test
Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be
committed)
.DS_Store
git push produces the following;
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
You need to git add ., then git commit -m "My commit message", then git push -u origin master.
That will set the upstream to the origin/master. Moving forward, just git push shall suffice
Git works through commits - which are basically snapshots of what your repository looked like at a given point in time. You need to commit the files to your repository before you can actually push them to GitHub.
So your first step is to add the files to the "Staging Area" with
git add file.text # you can do git add . but this will add all files which you may not always want
Now you can check the current status of the "Staging Area" with
git status
This will let you make sure that you are only committing the changes that you want added.
Now you can commit the changes. Committing will only 'save' the files that are in the Staging Area.
git commit -m "A useful description of what you did since your last commit"
Ok so now you're ready to push. Assuming you cloned from GitHub you can just run
git push origin master
But if you created this repository with git init you will need to tell git that you have a remote repository somewhere. Do this by running
git remote add https://github.com/<usernane>/<repo_name> origin
This origin is the name you would like to associate with the remote repository. 'Origin" is the most common but you may have other remotes like "backup" or "code_review" for different use cases.
Once you have added the remote repo, you can actually push to it with
git push origin master
Again, origin is the name for your remote repo and 'master' is a 'branch' name.
You can add the -u flag which will make it so that git assumes you want to push to origin. So in the future you would only need to run
git push
Listen to the error messages. :)
You currently have one untracked file, .DS_Store which I happen to know is a system file, so you may want to add that to your .gitignore
As for trying to push upstream, you need to set your upstream for each branch, so you simply need to type the command
$ git push --set-upstream origin master
then do a simple
$ git push
to send your changes to github.
If the branch you are pushing to online is ahead of you, then you may need to do a git pull to get grab the changes, before you do a git push.

git on mac osx: how to push filename cases to origin?

I have changed the case of some directories in my git repository.
Then I pushed them and noticed the cases where not updated.
Then I found this question:
git mv and only change case of directory
I have followed the advice to use:
git add -A
git commit --amend -m 'updated cases'
git push origin
but instead of success the git server is returning:
To git#github.com:kyogron/example.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git#github.com:kyogron/example.git'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') before pushing again. See the
'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.
What can I now do to update the cases without breaking more in my git repo?
Regards,
bodo
PS: To avoid this issue in future you can use:
git config core.ignorecase false
You need:
git push --force
since you have rewritten the last SHA1 with your --amend, after using git mv.
It won't break your repo unless you have other collaborators having already pulled from your previous commit as explained in "How do I push amended commit to the remote git repo?".
(in that case, you would need other options for publishing your fixed commit)
On OsX, this answer does suggest (to avoid this issue):
git config --unset-all core.ignorecase
git config --system core.ignorecase false
The OP kyogron reports having found a working solution:
Create a new branch and checkout this new branch.
Then delete the .DS_Store file in the directory of the corrupted directory and rename it to new name.
Then remove wrong directory in the repository (you can view them with git ls-files) and commit this change.
Again remove the .DS_Store and now rename the directory to the lower case name you want with git mv
