Seeing this error on first git push of a patch to a freshly cloned github project:

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (shallow update not allowed)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/org/myproject.git'

How to fix it and what may be the cause?

This question is NOT related to Remote rejected (shallow update not allowed) after changing Git remote URL as someone suggested.

  • @phd sorry but that is unrelated! This is a different question, with a different reason, and a different answer to fix it (even though one of the commands used is the same). Please re-open this question. – Roel Van de Paar Aug 27 '20 at 03:15

    If that is a different question, please clarify **how** this differs – Nico Haase Aug 27 '20 at 09:23
  • This error is on git push, and has nothing to do with a remote change, as far as I know. The cause is also different (i.e. not a remote change); it is caused by `--depth=1` on prior invocation. Please re-open this question. – Roel Van de Paar Aug 27 '20 at 22:03
  • Please undelete this question. – Roel Van de Paar Aug 30 '20 at 22:26

One possible reason may be that your originally pulled the branch with

git clone --depth=1 ...link...

If so, the fix is easy;

git fetch --unshallow origin
