+ [2014-08-04T23:25:38Z] borodin Push would result in non fast-forward update - how can I overcome this?

I have a java project in netbeans which I would like to put on github. I'm confused how to do this. Do I create the git repo on github first, then somehow tell netbeans about the git repo so I can check in the code? Doesn't seem to work
+ [2014-08-05T00:58:05Z] VxJasonxV pardon the snark, but you would overcome it by learning git
+ [2014-08-05T00:58:32Z] VxJasonxV what that message is telling you is that the history on the remote doesn't align with what you have in your repo
+ [2014-08-05T00:58:42Z] VxJasonxV this could happen if you initialized the repository on github with a readme or .gitignore
+ [2014-08-05T00:59:05Z] VxJasonxV you probably want to force push, since I believe at this point you only care about the local version of your repository
+ [2014-08-05T00:59:09Z] VxJasonxV but you shouldn't make a habit of doing that
