Rules
You can't push to a repository that has been edited elsewhere; you have to pull first, which updates (synchronizes) your local repository from the remote (does not remove any files, but may modify files if the same files have been updated on the remote). Once your local is synchronized with the remote, you can then push it back up.

Error Messages
- Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request failed may indicate a bad password. I've found that sometimes the password either doesn't paste properly or else isn't being accepted the first time; trying again with the same password may work. (The password is not displayed, so I'm not sure which it is.)
