Hey friends I’m new to git and I had a remote repo up on github that I put up there a while ago. It was a connect four game and recently I made a new one on my machine. Once I finished this new one I opened git bash and did git init. then I added and committed all my files. Then I did git add remote origin (then pasted the old remote repository url) and tried to push it and got this error
$ git push -u origin master
To https://github.com/spabsa/javaScript-Connect-Four.git
! [rejected] master → master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to ‘https://github.com/spabsa/javaScript-Connect-Four.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.
I then did get pull and got this
$ git pull https://github.com/spabsa/javaScript-Connect-Four.git

Any Ideas? Like I said I’m new to this and would appreciate a simple answer as I’m not that technical.
