### I tried to push my amended commit to a remote, but I got an error message

! [rejected] mybranch -> mybranch (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/tanay1337/webmaker.org.git'

hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.

```
Note that, as with rebasing (see below), amending **replaces the old commit with a new one**, so you must force push (`-f`) your changes if you have already pushed the pre-amended commit to your remote. Be careful when you do this &ndash; *always* make sure you specify a branch!
```sh
(mybranch) $ git push origin mybranch -f
```
In general, **avoid force pushing**. It is best to create and push a new commit rather than force-pushing the amended commit as it has will cause conflicts in the source history for any other developer who has interacted with the branch in question or any child branches.
