git tell you to pull modifications done by other(s), so :

git pull origin master
git push -u origin master

When this occurs. You usually have two options.

Save the changes from origin, then push it again. In terminal, you do
```
$ git pull origin master
```
Not to care the changes of origin, so type:
```
$ git push -u origin master --force
```
Then git will perform a force update. So your commits from local will be pushed.

In GitHub, this frequently happens if you both edit files in the remote and local. My suggestion is that if you use Git, you'd better not to use GitHub to edit files. Or you often need to force push

git push -u origin master (ERROR)
