Figure 10-9 . The repositories after Sarah's successful $ git push origin master command

Now John wants to send his work to shared-repo with:

# john's command
$ git push origin master

Git refuses to push his commits because johns-repo was out of date. The output
of the above command contains the following message:

! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first)

Git informs John that his push was rejected and that he has to fetch the missing revi-
sions first. To update his local master branch, John runs the following command:

# john's command
$ git pull origin master

The pull command fetched Sarah's b3 revision and performed a merge operation.
Now the repositories look like Figure 10-10 .
