Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified.
Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Confirm the remote is really the intended repo (wrong remote URL is a common cause). If joining two independent histories is intended, use --allow-unrelated-histories once; otherwise re-clone the remote and re-apply local changes. Option: Verify remote, then merge deliberately or re-clone [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Unrelated histories Steps: 1. git remote -v and git log --oneline origin/main to confirm the remote 2. If intended: git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories and resolve conflicts 3. If not: fix remote URL or clone fresh and copy changes Expected: Histories joined or correct remote used Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
