Getting error when trying to check in via source tree

[Sylvia Moestl Vasilik]

I got this error when trying to committ changes with SourceTree:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream origin master:master
Pushing to https://XXXXX@bitbucket.org/XXXXX/XXXXX.git
To https://bitbucket.org/XXXXX/XXXXX.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://XXXXX@bitbucket.org/XXXXX/XXXXX.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote
hint: counterpart. Check out this branch and 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.

I'm sure it has something to do with me switching laptops and trying to set up SourceTree on the new laptop.

At this point everything I need is saved off to the remote repository, and I would be happy to just start completely from scratch, with a fresh setup from the remote respository.  Just basically erase everything local, and get it all from the remote source.

Any hints on how to do that?

Thanks.

Hi Sylvia! As you said everything is saved to the remote and you'd be happy to start on local from scratch, you could do a clean install of SourceTree. The steps are as follows:

1. Wipe SourceTree preferences. 
2. Uninstall SourceTree (if it shows on the App&Features list)
3. Backup then delete the directory below before proceeding with next step
• Navigate to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local and delete SourceTree & SourceTree-Settings folder
• Navigate to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Atlassian and delete all SourceTree Files/Folder.
4. Download SourceTree and install it. 

Let us know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Ana
