I was trying to push local octopress blog to remote branch. But its saying above error.

another is: Do i have to manage or push the local changes to source or origin branch.?

When i do username.github.io ,i shall see my remote version of the local blog.(i used rake deploy command) But i dont see the updated blog at my username.github.io.I have doubt on branch for origin and source.

Solution 1:

You need to merge the remote branch into your current branch by running git pull.

If your local branch is already up-to-date, you may also need to run git pull --rebase.

A quick google search also turned up this same question asked by another SO user: Cannot push to GitHub - keeps saying need merge. More details there.
