Unable to push to remote branch

I do the below in my master branch:

git fetch --all

git reset --hard origin/master

Then i create a new branch and switch to the new branch using:

git checkout -b new_branch

I edit and add some files in the new_branch. Then i finally commit.However, when i push the changes, i get the below message:

You can force your push with the -f switch. The -f switch forces the push, and will overwrite the branch on the server. Use with caution when working in a team.

git push -f origin new_branch

Try running:

git pull

If this branch is new, then you can set the upstream with:

git push -u origin new_branch
