Common Git errors with diagnosis and solutions.

## Push/Pull Errors

### Failed to push: rejected

```
! [rejected]        main -> main (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'origin'
```

**Causes**:
1. Remote has commits you don't have locally
2. Force push required (history rewritten)
3. Branch protection rules

**Solutions**:
```bash
# Option 1: Pull and merge first (safest)
git pull origin main
git push origin main

# Option 2: Pull with rebase
git pull --rebase origin main
git push origin main

# Option 3: Force push (CAREFUL - overwrites remote)
# O
