Unable to push my package to GitHub

You have probably two different repos with the same name: a local one with your package you have worked on and a remote repo which you have created on github.

You have to set the origin of your local repo. Here are the commands to do that:

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/PATH/TO/YOUR/REMOTE/REPO
git config master.remote origin
git config master.merge refs/heads/master

After this do
git push -f origin master
on a git command line or as proposed in your screenshot, forcing the push.

Awesome. Thanks v much. Still annoyed that Juliapro couldn’t do this automatically though,

@oheil

No reason for getting upset with Julia.
It is a github issue, or to be more specific: it is an issue of a user, who hasen’t enough background with github to see the real issue. No offense ment here, it is just normal and there is no obligation to become a github expert before using Julia.

@giordano just stated the obvious to make it clear to you and others again without offense

If it doesn’t work without hours of fiddling about, or indeed not at all, it reflects badly on Julia.

Don’t waste too much time, come here and ask early and you will see how nice this community is and how this reflects great on Julia!

Fair enough.

@giordano

When you created it on Github, did you initialise it with, for example, a README or a license? Than that’s the issue, because in this way the remote repository has a different history compared to the local one

I was careful not to do that.

Thanks all for your help. I’m much happier now!
