[Solved] Git pull fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

1. First I have a remote repository in github, then I have a local repository

I added a new file to my local repository, and then after I associated it (git remote add origin [email protected]:qshilary/gittest.git)

2. Git push found an error

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git push origin master
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address ‘13.250.177.223’ to the list of known hosts.
fatal: remote error:
is not a valid repository name
Email [email protected] for help

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:qshilary/gittest.git
fatal: remote origin already exists.

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git push origin master
fatal: remote error:
is not a valid repository name
Email [email protected] for help

3. Then I found that Git remote -v was indeed associated, and then I needed to delete and re-associate it

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git remote -v
origin [email protected]:qshilary/[email protected]:qshilary/gittest.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:qshilary/[email protected]:qshilary/gittest.git (push)

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:qshilary/gittest.git

4. push again to find or report an error

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git push origin master
To github.com:qshilary/gittest.git
! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to ‘[email protected]:qshilary/gittest.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.

5. because the remote already has a project, but I do not have a local, so certainly can not push up, need to Git pull

eqiasui@CN00214190 MINGW64 ~/Documents/practice (master)
$ git pull
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address ‘52.74.223.119’ to the list of known hosts.

git in the latest 2.9.2, merge pull two different projects, the problem appears how to go about solving fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

I created a new repository in Github, wrote License, and then uploaded a local repository that I had written for a long time.

First pull, because the two repositories are different, I found refusing to merge unrelated histories and couldn’t pull

Because they are two different projects, to merge two different projects, git needs to add a line of code in git pull, which happened in git version 2.9.2, the latest version needs to add --allow-unrelated-histories

If our source is origin and our branch is master, then we need to write git pull origin master ----allow-unrelated-histories knowing that our source can be a local path
