this guy would have force pushed onto main about 10 mins after this if he did have git

And then lost the reflog by rm -rfing the project and cloning it again.

Tbf you have to do that for the first push, if a Readme file was autogenerated

[–] computergeek125@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does that still happen if you use the merge unrelated histories option? (Been a minute since I last had to use that option in git)

Never have heard of that, but in the case of you also having a Readme that will be even more complicated, I imagine. So just adding -f is the easier option.
