Exactly what the message said to you: To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'non-fast forward' section of 'git push --help' for details. Someone else (your other clone) modified your project in the interim. To prevent losing their change, you need to use `git pull` to bring in their work, merge it with your own, and then you can push it to the destination. For more details, check the `git push` manpage section suggested by the error message above. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
