cannot `git push` a cloned repository

[lukeed]

When cloning a git repository (into anywhere), I am unable to git push any changes back to remote. Doing so results in this error:

Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do[m
[33mhint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing[m
[33mhint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes[m
[33mhint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.[m
[33mhint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.[m

Error: failed to exec in podman container: exit status 1

While this looks like the general "pull before push" message, it's because git push is actually trying to push the /persisted/.git repository (for CSB backups) to the remote repository.

I can confirm this because:

1. Running git pull before push & it's always up to date
2. I can git push -f origin and the /persisted/.git repo appears in my source with the automated CSB commits

Hi @lukeed!

Could you share some code on how you connect, clone and try to push?

Some context:

By default CSB persists the Sandbox using git. If you want to persist rather using a remote repo you can use create({ source: 'git', url: '' }) and use sessions with a git accessToken to gain access to git operations securely.

You can also clone to a sub folder, but then any push operations needs to happen from that nested folder, as the root folder is using the CSB persistence.
