failed to push some refs -tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart

Question

I tried to push a file ("HelloWorld.md") on my local repository to remote repository on hithub. I got the following error message. How do I remove this error?

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/kriaz100/DataScienceCours era.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g. hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

Answer 1

git pull --rebase 
git push origin master

The rebase will apply your changes after those already to the remote (online website). This video literally goes over your exact issue and solves it using git pull --rebase https://youtu.be/IhkvMPE9Jxs?t=10m36s
