Push to Dokku rejected in CI deploy

GitLab CI/CD
1

I have the following .gitlab-ci.yml config stage:

deploy_to_dokku:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - git push dokku@mydokku.com:phoenix master

But it’s failing because master is supposedly behind…I guess the Gitlab CI runner could be doing a shallow clone or something that would prevent another remote from seeing it as a correct repository.

$ git push dokku@mydokku.com:phoenix master
Warning: Permanently added the ECDSA host key for IP address '8.8.8.8' to the list of known hosts.

To dokku@mydokku.com:phoenix
 ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)

Ah ok this turned out to be an easy one.

In the CI/CD settings for a project switch from git fetch to git clone - you will then be able to push to alternative remotes.
