I created a git repository and updated it with some stuff. Later I created a new directory for this project and initialized new git for it. Now I want to push changes and replace the old contents in the repository. When I run
git push origin masterI get! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:Username/repo2.git' To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.What can I do to solve this?
