Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches when git pull
Error message
! [rejected] main -> main (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:julyfun/mfa.fish.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
or
hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them.
hint: You can do so by running one of the following commands sometime before
hint: your next pull:
hint:
hint: git config pull.rebase false # merge (the default strategy)
hint: git config pull.rebase true # rebase
hint: git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
hint:
hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
hint: invocation.
First Check
Check if you have tried git pull

Use github desktop, just pull and no problem occurs.
Sol 2
git config pull.rebase false
That's what github desktop does.
