I have a GitLab project (origin) that was originally cloned from another GitHub project (github).
$ git remote
github
origin
I made this happen by:
git remote add github https://the-git-hub-remote.git
Now I want to merge GitHub's new changes into my local code. so I did the following
In my local computer, I pulled changes from GitHub
git fetch github
I then copy the GitHub's master branch into a local branch called github-master
git checkout -b github-master github/master
Now I want to push it to my GitLab repo but it complains:
$ git push origin

To my-git-lab-remote.git
! [remote rejected] github-master -> github-master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@my-git-lab-remote.git'
What should I do?
Basically, I have the same problem as Velmurugan Velayutham in https://gist.github.com/DavideMontersino/810ebaa170a2aa2d2cad
Thanks!
As illustrated in issue 17244, check the configuration of the project hook:
Check whether author is a GitLab user
Restrict commits by author (email) to existing GitLab users
You could at least ask to desactivate temporarily said hook, to allow your initial push to complete.
