Failed to push to github

[lmame]

I am at ngConf 2019 and was working on a workshop.
I took the trainer stackblitz, forked it and used stackblitz to create a repo on my github.
It went ok.
Locally on my laptop I cloned the repo and added the slides (20MB+?).
On stackblitz I pulled the modification (no error message).
I worked on the workshop and tried to commit.
It failed with an error message (not simple enough for fast forward, use force).

Then now the stackblitz project cannot even load anymore:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/ngconf2019-bz-angular-ngrx

Import error, can't find files:
/src/main.ts
/src/index.html
/src/styles.css
/src/polyfills.ts
/src/app/app.module.ts
/src/app/app.routing.ts
/src/app/app.component.ts
/src/app/app.component.css
/src/app/app.component.html
/src/app/hello.component.ts
/src/app/banana/banana.component.ts
/src/app/banana/banana.component.css
/src/app/banana/banana.component.html

I received the same error with a JavaScript project. I hard-reloaded the page and was able to make my commits after that. I'm not sure if Git has a different state for when the project is first connected vs when it is reloaded. This might not work for you since it's a different project type but at least in this scenario it worked.

I am getting the same issue on a tutorial that I am playing around with. Using Angular.

What is the workaround for that, please?

@lmame I see this when I click your link:

You can download that folder on your local computer and then push to the github ok that is also way or you can fork bt i am not able to fork that ok i hope this help

@lmame
It seems that StackBlitz fails to push the commits to Github when you try to click on the commit button after few hours, I think. I couldn't track the exact time period.
But when I push commits with short time intervals (within minutes), the code changes have been successfully pushed to the repo.

One solution that worked for me was to make a new branch and merge them via PR on github. I would like to just be able to force push always though, as I have no intention of editing this project outside of stackblitz.

[massimocoletti]

is it possible to perform commit with additional parameters?

Please update when this issue got fixed from stackblitz

[jeserkin]

Okay. Found a dirty workaround.

1. Chose different branch from branch list (e.g. New branch)
2. Stash changes into new branch (it will only close base branch and switch to it)
3. Now commit existing changes into new branch
4. On Github create PR on new branch
5. Merge PR into base branch
6. Delete tmp branch
7. In stackblitz switch to base branch and pull changes
8. Profit!!!??? Not really.

Yes, @jeserkin’s method (stash) is the only thing that worked for me so far. Neither pulling nor creating a new branch helped (in a Javascript project).

Bonus: if you want to customize the commit message, you can pull it in the console, git commit --amend it and then merge it to the base branch locally and push it (continue with step 6).

I still feel like it could be solved more elegantly.

This issue is now resolved! Full writeup in Github issue #2473

Thanks @kc0tlh :)
