Resolved hint: updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart error

Recently, I ran some of my git code, and it gave the warning text:

error: failed to push some refs to
'https://github.mydomain.info/Product/product.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g. hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

While searching, I realized some people added command lines in my sample above. But I don’t think it is the best way to correct the problem – hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. How would you explain this trouble? or is there a better way? Below is the detail of the command that I used :

git checkout -b FixForBug origin/dev

git pull --rebase

git push origin FixForBug
git

    The cause: The main cause of this error is that the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart because there are modifications made to remote that you do not have in the local branch.

    Solution: Check that your local branch of FixForBug is not in front of the remote branch. FixForBug Pull and merging changes prior to pushing.

    git pull origin FixForBug
    git push origin FixForBug

    “The tip that is currently in your branch in front of its remote counterpart” indicates that there are modifications made to remote that you do not have locally. Git will tell you to load the latest modifications from remote and then merge it into your own code before you move the changes to your remote. This command can be used to create changes on the server by using locally located repository (). Remote repo codes will be replaced by the repo code of your local repository.

    git push -f origin master

    By using the tag -f tag, you can override your remote branch’s code by using the repo’s local code.

    Some steps you can correct the error: updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart 

    1. git pull origin "name of branch you want to push"
    2. git rebaseif you can verify that the git Rebase succeeds, that’s great. If not, you need to solve all merge conflicts locally , and continue to do so until remote rebase is successful.
    3. git rebase --continue

    The -f is required because of the rebase. Whenever you do a rebase, you need to do a push because the remote branch cannot be fast-forwarded to your commit. You’d always want to make sure that you do a pull before pushing, but if you don’t like to force push to main or dev, for that matter, you can create a new branch to push to and then merge or make a PR.
