If you encounter this error:

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
(e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

This means your local repository is not synchronised with the remote. You can force the push with:

git push -f stackhero main
