Okay, in order to resolve this error you have to do a git pull, that will update the local master to be on the same commit as your remote master, plus any local changes you have.

Your other option if you do not want any of the changes on your remote master would be to run the git push with the --force option. Just be careful when using --force, since this will bypass the check to see that your local branch is not behind the remote branch, and can cause the remote repository to lose commits.

Hi,

I updated my source as my remote repo using the git set-url command. I tried to push the new file to repo. I get the following error message.

I am new to bitbucket. I am not lost on what I am doing wrong. I don't know how to set my master to my local repo which is my h drive in my machine.

git push source master
To https://bitbucket.cdisc.org/scm/oat/odm-test-src.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://priagopal@bitbucket.cdisc.org/scm/oat/odm-test-src.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.

Hi Priya,

Is your local repo area already a git repository or is it just a folder where you want to put your repository?

You can check that the remote is set correctly by running git remote -v, this will list the remote URLs:

$ git remote -v
Bitbucket.org https://username@bitbucket.org/username/repository.git (fetch)
Bitbucket.org https://username@bitbucket.org/username/repository.git (push)
