Git pull, python pyc files -error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

On my ec2 instance, I am trying to do a pull requests of my github repo. I get the below error. On my local machine I commit everything. How do I deal with pyc files if that is the issue?

git add .
git commit -m 't'
git push origin development

git pull

You shouldn't store .pyc files in Git. On your workstation, do

find . -name *.pyc -exec git rm {} \;

Then add a line *.pyc to .gitignore, commit all the changes and push.

On the other end (EC2), do

git checkout classes/ec2/ec2Auto.pyc classes/redis_ha.pyc \
             classes/rtbUtilities.pyc rtb_redis_connections/redis_connections.pyc

then pull.
