Git Push Heroku Master error with Rails

Question

When I attempt the git push heroku master command I get the following error:

matt@matt-desktop:~/Documents/Ruby/rails_projects/ninja_speak_app$ git push heroku master
To https://git.heroku.com/limitless-inlet-4477.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/limitless-inlet-4477.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

This repository was set up yesterday on github and is called ninja_speak_app. While setting up the repository I was careful not to initialize with a readme file or license.

When I do a git pull I get the following:

matt@matt-desktop:~/Documents/Ruby/rails_projects/ninja_speak_app$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

Commit also shows everything is up to date:

matt@matt-desktop:~/Documents/Ruby/rails_projects/ninja_speak_app$ git commit -m "first commit"
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean

Edit: running git push --force heroku master yields the following:

matt@matt-desktop:~/Documents/Ruby/rails_projects/ninja_speak_app$ git push --force heroku master

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/limitless-inlet-4477.git'

I'm able to get code up to heroku using --force but any thoughts on why it still errors out?

Edit2:

Running git pull heroku master yields:

Git push heroku master then yields:

your git pull aborted. Either commit your work prior to pulling or throw it away or stash it — Andrew C

If you are sure of what you're doing you can force the push to heroku:

git push --force heroku master

any way to do this without the --force parameter?

user4384619 Over a year ago

IMO, you have rollbacked a commit localy, then you pushed to github so your heroku repo and your local/github repos are out of sync. To fix this force push on heroku

That means you have code in your repository newer than the code in your local repository. You have to merge your changes locally :

git pull heroku master

then you push :

git push heroku master

EDIT (following your edit) :

try git fetch origin

git pull --rebase

push again

Here is what ended up working for me:

I logged into my heroku account and went to the 'Deploy' tab. From here there is a 'Connect to GitHub' option which will allow you to manually link the two accounts. After the accounts are linked you can search for the GitHub repo on the heroku account. Once linked, I chose the 'manual deploy' option. Since this manual deploy I've been able to use git push heroku master without issue.

I'm going to test this one out as rolling back to a previous version did not work

You need to run

git pull heroku_app_name master

Hope it works.

matt@matt-desktop:~/Documents/Ruby/rails_projects/ninja_speak_app$ git pull limitless-inlet-4477 master fatal: 'limitless-inlet-4477' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

You need to do: git remote add heroku [email protected]:project.git where git url is found in your heroku app settings page. Hope it works now.

ran this command: git remote add heroku [email protected]:limitless-inlet-4477.git but still get same error described in question (i.e. 'failed to push some refs') when run git push heroku master

If you have used - bundle install --without production and did not do - git commit -am "installed using bundle"

then you are more likely to face such an issue.

If you have already run -bundle install--without production then follow the following steps and you can resolve the problem:

Open your Gemfile and put your Ruby version in it:
- ruby '2.2.1'
$ git commit -am "updated the Gemfile"
$ git push heroku master

This resolved the issue.
