The push conversation works basically like this: 1. server advertise master at some sha1 (like fdda486ad) 2. client checks that moving from fdda486ad to whatever the new value is (let's say 1234abcd) matches its criteria (e.g., not a fast-forward) and prepares a pack with the appropriate objects 3. client tells server "update master from fdda486ad to 1234abcd" 4. server locks master and then under lock checks that it's still at fdda486ad. In this case it's not, so it aborts the lock. This is likely due to somebody else pushing in the interim. If you push again at this point, the client will notice in step that it's not a fast-forward and give you the "somebody else has pushed, you need to pull first" error message. The only difference here is that because of the timing (i.e., somebody pushing at the exact same time as you), only the server's locking operation noticed the conflict. But the fix is the same (pull their work, then push). -Peff
Bug report for git push
Hi everyone! I am facing this spurious issue (not easily reproducible and usually a retry fixes it) with git push: Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.255.112' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

This is happening in git version 2.17.0 I've tried searching stack overflow and the git mailing list but the answers aren't recent enough or don’t seem to be permanent fixes. How do I fix this issue?
