I think the workflow here seems overly complicated, as I don't see the advantage of having these intermediate backend- and frontend branches. Now, back to your concrete question. It's a bit hard to say exactly where it goes wrong since you don't include any list of commands or output from Git. But generally: You say you have pushed (published) the work on your personal branch "dev_devname", I assume to some shared repository. Then you rebase the local "dev_devname" branch? Well then of course you can't push to "dev_devname" again. You have rewritten history, and hence diverged from the history you already pushed. This is why rebasing, or rewriting history in a published branch is a bad thing. You need to decide in this case if you want to overwrite the already published history with your local history. But before you do this you should read some more about how rebase and merge really works. I can't really say what is the best resource for you to read, but here's one to start off with: http://blog.sourcetreeapp.com/2012/08/21/merge-or-rebase/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
