! [remote rejected] main -> main (failure) , failed to push some refs, when trying to push to the only branch in a repository [duplicate]

Question

I'm working on this discord bot, and I only got 1 branch in my repository, ain't needing more. I opened up my command line the way I have been for the past few weeks, and it said something about git --version that was wrong but then it bypassed it or something and console started to work. Then I made a few tweaks to an existing file and simply did git status to see if it was addable for a commit which it was. Then i did git add * which worked, then git commit -m "fixed negative number error" and then when I did git push origin main which I have been doing for weeks, it said

 ! [remote rejected] main -> main (failure)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/andyforprez/exebot.git'

And it didn't push that file to the repository, even though in VSCode the M sign disappeared as if it did push.

Any suggestions?
