I'm getting these errors after adding README.md file in my github repo. After spending hours, I tried to push forcefully then it pushes the code using the command:

git push-f origin master

But what's the issue and what's the right way to fix it and avoid future issues.

To https://github.com/user/webDev.git
! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/user/webDev.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
