Question I have a project in a remote repository, synchronized with a local repository (development) and the server one (prod).

Question I'm using git in VSCodium and each time I try to pull git is complaining. Looking into the log I see > git pull --tags origin master From https://github.com/MY/REPO * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD ! [rejected] latest -> latest (would clobber existing tag) 9428765..935da94 master -> origin/master Doing the command with --force helps until the next time. It's unclear to me what's going wrong here. What happened and how can I resolve this issue?…
