migrating to git lfs by official guide creates bad object error

Question

Following this guide, when I get to the step git push --force I get the following error:

ref master:: Error in git rev-list --stdin --objects --not --remotes=origin --: exit status 128 fatal: bad object d096dd7506987ff3ede8754716b5fe076836b524
error: failed to push some refs to <git-url>

I have followed the guide exactly so am at a loss. Any suggestions welcome.

TIA

Answer 1

It's likely that the upstream contains changes you don't have on your local copy of the remote (in this case, the d096dd7506987ff3ede8754716b5fe076836b524 commit).

Do a git fetch before pushing.

As you've mirrored the repo, you'll probably want to ensure that the commits on the remote that you don't have are properly merged in.
