Re: branch rebase and push

Can I push a branch after rebase?
I got a error message:
   error: remote 'refs/heads/br' is not a strict subset of local ref
   'refs/heads/br'. maybe you are not up-to-date and need to pull first?

It worked fine if I did:
  $ git checkout -b br
  $ git pull . master
  $ git checkout master
  $ git pull
  $ git push

But I got above error message if I did:
  $ git checkout br
  $ git rebase master
  $ git checkout master
  $ git pull
  $ git push

The problem you have is with _push_, not branch, I think.

Does repository you pull from has rebased branch 'br'? If yes, is it
pulled with + in pull/fetch line? Perhaps (but read documentation first,
please) "git push --force" is what you want, provided that other side
doesn't forbid non fast-forward pushes.

Bu you usually don't rebase published branch (don't change history
of published branch). Equivalently, you don't publish rebased branch
until it is ready (or merged in ;-).
