6,494 Pointsgithub is saying its ahead one commit, can anyone help me please
hi have followed some advice online on how to remove a commit from my online github repository
this is the command is used and it seemed to of worked as the commit on my github has gone....
git push -f origin HEAD^:master
....but now when i try and commit my next change i get this message...
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean
and if i carry on and push my code to my online repository it is pushing the previous commit and not the one i am trying to commit now.
can anyone explain to me what i have done and what it means by its ahead, im guessing it means its still on my previous commit and thats why its pushing that commit rather than my current one. if this is the case how do i get it to move to my current commit and forget the previous one i have remove already from my github repository.
hope this makes sense ? :D
Thanks in advance !!! Amber

This will prune deleted branches from your repo. Could be your problem.
If that does not work, try a git pull --rebase
This will push your local commit aside and resynchronise with the master.
