The latest issue I had :
remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.
remote: error: Cannot force-push to this protected branch
To https://github.com/org/project.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (protected branch hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/org/project.git
Because I’m admin/owner I was able to go and do the following and that helped me to resolve the push problem.
Steps :
–> Settings
–>Branches
–> Tick Allow force pushes
Permit force pushes for all users with push access.
That will do the work.
