问题:

I have a problem when I push my codes to git while I have developer access in my project, but everything is okay when I have master access. Where is the problem come from? And how to fix it?

Error message:

error: You are not allowed to push code to protected branches on this project.
...
error: failed to push some refs to ...

回答1:

there's no problem - everything works as expected.

In GitLab some branches can be protected. By default only 'master' user can commit to protected branches. master branch is protected by default - it forces developers to issue merge requests to be validated by project master before integrating them into main code.

You can turn on and off protection on selected branches in Project Settings (where exactly depends on GitLab version - see instructions below).

On the same settings page you can also allow developers to push into the protected branches. With this setting on, protection will be limited to rejecting operations requiring git push --force (rebase etc.)

Since GitLab 9.3

Go to project: "Settings" -> "Repository" -> "Expand" on "Protected branches"

I'm not really sure when this change was introduced, screenshots are from 10.3 version.

Now you can select who is allowed to merge or push into selected branches (for example: you can turn off pushes to master at all, forcing all changes to branch to be made via Merge Requests). Or you can click "Unprotect" to completely remove protection from branch.

Since GitLab 9.0

Similarly to GitLab 9.3, but no need to click "Expand" - everything is already expanded: Go to project: "Settings" -> "Repository" -> scroll down to "Protected branches".

Pre GitLab 9.0

Project: "Settings" -> "Protected branches" (if you are at least 'Master' of given project).

Then click on "Unprotect" or "Developers can push":



回答2:

for the GitLab Enterprise Edition 9.3.0

By default, master branch is protected so unprotect :)

1-Select you "project"

2-Select "Repository"

3-Select "branches"

4-Select "Project Settings"

5-In "Protected Branches" click to "expand"

6-and after click in "unprotect" button



回答3:

I have encountered this error on "an empty branch" on my local gitlab server. Some people mentioned that "you can not push for the first time on an empty branch". I tried to create a simple README file on the gitlab via my browser. Then everything fixed amazingly and the problem sorted out!! I mention that I was the master and the branch was not protected.



回答4:

Try making changes as per link

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_branches.html

make the project unprotected for maintainer or developer for you to commit



回答5:

I experienced the same problem on my repository. I'm the master of the repository, but I had such an error.

I've unprotected my project and then re-protected again, and the error is gone.

We had upgraded the gitlab version between my previous push and the problematic one. I suppose that this upgrade has created the bug.



回答6:

The above solutions explain clearly what the problem is; when you don't have control over the repo, the best way to submit your code is to create a Fork of the original repo and submit your code to this new repo so later you can push it to the original one.
