I have cloned a public repository from github, made some modifications and now I want to push them to a private repo. The steps I took are shown below:
$ git clone -b dev https://github.com/public_repo
$ cd public_repo
## modify files
$ git add .
$ git status
On branch dev
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/dev'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
new file: ...
modified: ...
modified: ...
...
$ git commit -m "Now supports new features"
[dev 5f98577c] Now supports Chiplet
68 files changed, 2855 insertions(+), 1910 deletions(-)

$ git remote add private https://private_domain
$ git push private dev

To https://private_domain
! [rejected] dev -> dev (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://private_domain'
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.
Note that the private repository is also on dev branch. How can I fix that?
>Solution :
according to error : you have different code on the private repo dev branch and you’re trying to push some other changes without taking pull . please try to take pull before push
