Git push error, head of distant repo is behind local

I have a repo on gitlab with my project. I first commit and push this project on windows. After I create a VM on ubuntu and I copy paste my project folder on it. I continue my project on ubuntu and I did commit (without push). I didn'use anymore my windows project. Now when I want to push the project (ubuntu) I have error. I think I have conflict and merging problem. How can I push my project on the repo. I try to pull, fetch but nothing.

The error is :

! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
impossible to push references to 'repo'
tip: The updates were rejected because the head of the current branch is behind its remote peer. Integrate remote changes (eg 'git pull ...') before pushing again.

After that when I do a git pull origin master I have a lot of conflicts with many files.

Can you help me?

git is not allowing you to push, pull, fetch because you copy pasted the entire directory. This has copied the .git folder also which git creates on git init. Delete the .git folder and then reinitialize the git repository with git init.

This will create a new .git pointing according to the new path.

You should do the git pull and resolve conflicting files. Open each one, fix it, then git add it. You will find the conflicting lines like that:

After doing this with all conflicting files, test your code and run git commit to merge. You will be able to push after that.

On git pull , git will merge the conflicting files , You need to solve the conflicts and commit again to push (git push origin master) updated code on git .
