remote: GitLab: You are not allowed to push code to protected branches on this project
I am trying to push to master branch of a repo and I am failing to do so, since it is protected.
I tried to look into the project settings and do not see any option for protected branches. The only option I could see is members.
remote: GitLab: You are not allowed to push code to protected branches on this project.
To [email protected]:cmd/release.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:cmd/release.git'
My repo has only one branch, with no contents in it so far.
I do see protected branches options of my other Repos but not for this specific one.
It is a new repo with no contents and with only default branch.
I have the master permission.
Unfortunately I am not able to upload the image here somehow.
Please suggest how to push code to master branch.

1. git push: "error: failed to push some refs to"
git push -f: "remote rejected"
2. the branch is in a protected state and cannot be forced to operate.
Gitlab - Repository - Branches
3. temporarily remove branch protection.
Gitlab - Settings - Repository - Protected Branches - Unprotect
4. try pushing again
git push -f
