What is The Tip of Your Current Branch is Behind Error Means?
Git is warning you that the tip of your current branch is behind because someone else has made changes to the branch on the remote. Your local branch is not up to date with those changes, and if you push now, it could overwrite their work.
Common Causes:
- Someone else pushed changes after you last pulled
- You’re pushing from a stale branch
Solution:
Pull the latest changes from the remote, then push again.
Steps to Fix:
Step 1: Pull from the remote branch
bash
git pull origin main # or ‘master’ based on your branch
Step 2: Resolve any merge conflicts (if any)
Step 3: Push your changes
bash
git push origin main
Problem Code:
bash
git push origin main
# error: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind…
Fixed Code:
bash
git pull origin main
# (resolve conflicts if any)
git push origin main
Extra Tip:
If you’re sure you want to overwrite remote (with caution!):
bash
git push –force
But avoid this if working in a team!
