error: failed to push some refs to 'origin'

Error message

error: failed to push some refs to 'origin'

What broke

You attempted to push changes to a remote Git repository, but the push failed. This usually happens when the remote branch has changes that your local branch does not have.

Why it broke

The push failed because your local branch is behind the remote branch. This means there are commits on the remote that you need to incorporate into your local branch before you can successfully push your changes.

How to fix

To fix this, first pull the latest changes from the remote branch using `git pull origin <branch-name>`. Resolve any merge conflicts if they arise, then try pushing your changes again with `git push origin <branch-name>`.

Code fix

git pull origin <branch-name> && git push origin <branch-name>
