网上搜索了下，是因为远程repository和我本地的repository冲突导致的，而我在创建版本库后，在github的版本库页面点击了创建README.md文件的按钮创建了说明文档，但是却没有pull到本地。这样就产生了版本冲突的问题。

有如下几种解决方法：

1.使用强制push的方法：

$ git push -u origin master -f 

这样会使远程修改丢失，一般是不可取的，尤其是多人协作开发的时候。

2.push前先将远程repository修改pull下来

$ git pull origin master

$ git push -u origin master

3.若不想merge远程和本地修改，可以先创建新的分支：

$ git branch [name]

然后push

$ git push -u origin [name]
