GIT push not pushing commits to remote
Solution 1
First of all carefully examine your configuration.
- Make sure you have pushed it really.
- Make sure you have pushed it to where you THINK you pushed it.
What can help you:
$ git log --full-history // is your commit really there?
$ git reflog // operation history
$ git remote -v // what are your remotes?
$ git remote show DESIRED_REPO // do you have the remote repo you wanted to push to configured? the DESIRED_REPO?
Finally, make sure you are using RIGHT push notation:
- There is a difference between
git push public
andgit push --repo=public
. First pushes to public ALWAYS, second only if remote for branch you are pushing is not set. - If your branch is named differently than it's remote counterpart, this can make a difference.
$ git push remote local_branch:remote_branch // I've made this error today by swapping places, with remote_branch:local_branch Git will not find the branch to update.
Hope this helps. In my case careful re-reading of manual while re-examining commands I've tried helped and revealed the problem (swapped branch names).
Solution 2
I was in the same situation a few minutes ago (which is why I wandered into this thread). Anwyay, I was able to solve it via git push origin master
instead of just git push
.
This happened after I created a new branch, started pushing to the new branch, then went back to the master branch and tried to push to that branch again.

I have been working on a git repository and have been pushing my local changes to a remote server all the time... up until recently. When I do a git push, it says that everything is up-to-date. In reality, I'm already 3 commits ahead of the remote version and it's not getting my changes.
I have tried the git log -1, git reset --hard solution posted on various places, but that doesn't solve anything. Do I need to change that number to reflect the number of commits that I am ahead?
Say I have 5 commits, for brevetys sake named 1 to 5. My local version is at 5, the remote version is at 2. Gitk shows my MASTER at commit 5 and remotes/origin/master at commit 2. Do I need to git reset my local version to 2 (or 3, the first commit that was not pushed to remote)? What will happen to my changes? The git documentation says that --hard will discard any changes, will that mean that they will be lost completely? I would like to keep the commit history of these 3 commits, as there were quite some changes made.

positron over 10 yearsNo. No. Don't do a reset hard. You'll lose changes. What does your .git/config file has for the branch you are trying to update in the server?

git branch
returns? Are you in a detached head mode? stackoverflow.com/questions/3965676/why-did-git-detach-my-head/… -
Tom Cannaerts over 10 yearsGit branch gives me this, were the ENGBE-X branches are indeed seperate branches. pastebin.com/pimwZjTr

Tom Cannaerts over 10 yearsAssuming I'm on a detached head, how did I get there? I have been merging branches, so I assume it would be somewhere there. This is a listing of git log, where commit 32320e... is the last one in the remote. It doesn't really look special to me. pastebin.com/uJfaQ9WY . So, any ideas on how to fix this?
