Git | fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories [How to Solve]

Scenario: create an empty warehouse in gitee and push the existing warehouse. Through remote add origin < git path> specified warehouse, error message: error: failed to push some refs to ' https://gitee.com/XXXX/XXXXX.git ' Terminal Information:

JerrydeMacBook-Pro:web-h5 jerrylam$ git push      
fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin master

After executing git push --set-upstream origin master, it reports another error, as follows .

JerrydeMacBook-Pro:web-h5 jerrylam$ git push --set-upstream origin master
To https://gitee.com/XXXX/web.git
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gitee.com/XXXX/web.git'
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.

Try git pull origin master , the error message is as follows

JerrydeMacBook-Pro:web-h5 jerrylam$ git pull origin master
From https://gitee.com/XXXX/web.git
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

Solutions

# Change the previous git pull origin master to the following code

git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories

Finally, we can push it

JerrydeMacBook-Pro:web-h5 jerrylam$ git push origin master

When push doesn’t go up, first git pull ensures the latest code

git pull  --allow-unrelated-histories
# Or specify branches
git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories
