Git push remote rejected {change ### closed}

Question

i am having problems pushing my changes from my local master to remote master because of this error:

remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done
To ssh://[email protected]:29418/xxxxxx
 ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/master (change 14823 closed)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://[email protected]:29418/xxxxxx'

any idea how i can fix this issue?

git status says my branch is ahead of origin/master by 5 commits.

Answer 1

I got the same message. And it was because I have managed to get the same Change-Id for two commits. Maybe due to some cherry-picking or similar between my local branches. Solved by removing the Change-Id from the commit message, a new Id then was added by the commit hook.

Answer 2

Your Commit Change ID is expired ie, Review 14823 is closed. you can't push to same.

Do this to fix issue:

1. git commit --amend
2. delete change id
3. save and quit
4. new change id will be added to the commit. it can be verified by git log.
5. push again

Answer 3

I found the following page which details exactly why you're unable to push your changes to the origin due to the change XXXXX closed error: https://git.eclipse.org/r/Documentation/error-change-closed.html

Cheers!
