Why do I get 'object not found' errors when trying to push to GitHub?
This error occurs if your local repository’s refs differ from the remote. Fetch updates and ensure commits are pushed to avoid mismatches.
The 'object not found' error when pushing to GitHub is usually due to mismatches between your local and remote repositories. Begin by fetching the latest changes using git fetch origin and inspect any newly downloaded refs with git log or git status. Ensure your commits are correctly synced by running git push --all or git push --tags for branches and tags. In rare cases, this error can result from a corrupted .git directory, which can be fixed by cloning a fresh copy from GitHub, or replacing missing objects with git fsck and restoring integrity. This approach helps avoid future mismatches and keeps repositories aligned.
