Git error: “Updates rejected due to behind remote branch” ?

#2

Hello Smrity,

Here is your Answer, Please let me know if you need any further Explanation:-

The -f flag is necessary when you rebase because it overrides the remote branch’s history with your new commits. When you rebase, you’re rewriting the commit history, so a force push is required to update the remote branch with your changes. It’s generally a good practice to pull changes before pushing to avoid conflicts. If you prefer not to force push to master or any important branch, you can create a new branch, push your changes to it, and then merge or create a pull request.

Hey Smrith,

To ensure your local branch “FixForBug” is up to date with the remote branch before pushing, you should pull the latest changes and then push your changes:

git pull origin FixForBug
git push origin FixForBug

This will fetch any new changes from the remote “FixForBug” branch, merge them into your local branch, and then push your local changes to the remote branch.

Hello Smrity,

To avoid using -f when pushing, you can simply use git pull instead of git pull --rebase. The non-rebase pull will fetch the changes from origin/dev and merge them into your FixForBug branch. Afterwards, you can push your changes without needing -f:

git pull
git push origin FixForBug

This sequence fetches and merges the changes from origin/dev into your FixForBug branch, allowing you to push your changes without requiring a force push.
