Matlb Projects / Git: The remote update was rejected by the target: refs/heads​/main->ref​s/remotes/​origin/mai​n

Hi, I am new to all this version control and trying to work on my repo:

https://github.com/Shrediquette/PIVlab/

In Matlab, I am using the Projects environment which seems to be quite handy. I am Fetching and Pulling directly from github. Then I am modifying files and adding stuff (also mat files are edited, which are marked as binary in the .gitattributes file). When I press Commit, then Push, I get this error:

    The remote update was rejected by the target:
refs/heads/main->refs/remotes/origin/main  



I don't know how to proceed....
I have no clue of "branches", "tags" etc, and I did not intentionally use any of these. Please help me with my issue, thanks.

Open github in your project folder, try

git commit -m "testmessage" % m is merge option
git push

However, you might find more informations elsewhere, since this is a Git related issue.
