error: failed to push some refs to '[...]'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do

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.
