How to Fix: Git pull after forced update

After performing a forced update with git push --force, you may encounter issues when other team members pull the updated repository. This is because their local repositories have a different commit history, which can lead to conflicts during the pull process.

💡 Why You Are Getting This Error

• When you use git rebase to squash commits, it modifies the commit history of your repository. When you force-push this updated history with git push --force, other team members' repositories are not aware of these changes.

🔧 Proven Troubleshooting Steps

🎯 Final Words

To avoid similar issues in the future, consider using git push --force-with-lease instead of git push --force, which allows you to specify a commit hash or range that must be present on both your local and remote repositories before pushing is allowed.
