remote-repo: Push Rejected by Remote Updates

Checks the remote, current branch and ahead/behind state before pushing changed history.

Project: remote-repo Remote Synchronization Exercise

Symptom: A local commit could not be pushed because the remote branch had advanced.

Hypothesis: Confirm the remote, current branch and whether local history is ahead or behind.

Investigation: Verified the remote, current branch, status and commit history before comparing the two branch tips.

Root cause: The remote contained commits absent locally.

Fix: Pulled and resolved history before pushing; made remote and branch checks routine.

Lesson: Synchronization is bidirectional and push alone is not a complete workflow.
