If you encounter an error like this during deployment:

error: failed to push some refs to '[...]'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

This message means the remote Git repository contains changes that are not present in your local copy. If you want to overwrite the remote with your local version, you can force the push with:

git push -f stackhero main
