Git: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote counterpart

 

>PROBLEM

Git push fails returning "Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote counterpart...".

 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)

error: failed to push some refs to .. SOME DIR PATH

hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote

hint: counterpart. Check out this branch and 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.

>SOLUTION

Following the hint suggested in the output:

  git push --help

The --force option solves:

  git push --force origin master

  

Because it was behind the counterpart, it may cause some side effect on log.

When performed the command, everything was fine, no issues, but another client had to push with --force flag too, but no further issues.
