Initial git push into freshly created repo on GitLab rejected-CodePudding

In GitLab I created a new repo from scratch (without initializing it with a README), then I ran these commands on my local machine to init and push

git init -b main
git add . && git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin [email protected]:my-repo/myapp.git
git remote -v

In the next step I tried to push by git push -u origin main, but this is rejected:

! [rejected] main -> main (fetch first) error: failed to push some refs to 'gitlab.com:alexander.brehm/haraldpopp.de.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.

According to the hints, I tried git pull, but this results in

 * [new branch]      main       -> origin/main
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.
    git pull  
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:
    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/branch main

So I did a git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main, but this results in

hint: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
hint: discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
hint: commands sometime before your next pull:
hint: 
hint:   git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
hint:   git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
hint:   git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only

I don't know, what to do. I never had this issue before.

EDIT: Results of further tests:

SSH is working: ssh -T [email protected]

Status of local and remote:

$ git status
On branch main
nothing to commit, working tree clean

$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: [email protected]:my/app.git
  Push  URL: [email protected]:my/app.git
  HEAD branch: main
  Remote branch:
    main new (next fetch will store in remotes/origin)
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    main pushes to main (local out of date)

CodePudding user response：

I couldn't figure out why the issue occured; maybe it's because when manually generating a repo in gitLab, then a file .gitlab-ci.yml is created automatically.

Finally I ended up by deleting the repo on gitLab and creating it from scratch by local command git push --all --set-upstream [email protected]:my.name/app.git In this way, everything is working.

CodePudding user response：

You should do git pull origin main then check everything in your code looks as it should and the do your git push origin main command.
