First test-repo ReadMe commit.
Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/dlandauer/test-repo
Testing: initial git push recommended at https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo failed, sayingo

    error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/dlandauer/test-repo.git'
    hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
    hint: not have locally.

Says to run git pull, but that also gives an error.

So, try a mirror of the recommended git push command, with s/push/pull/.
