I’m following this DO tutorial ‘Set Up Automatic Deployment with Git’. When trying to push to the Remote repo locally with the command:
git push live master
I receive:
Counting objects: 1195, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (1064/1064), done.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://USER@IP/var/repo/WEBSITE
t.git'
I think it may be a problem with permissions as I had to use sudo in a couple of the steps or it is maybe a novice’s mistake. Any guidance to troubleshoot or a point in the right direction this would be greatly

Copying this here from a stackoverflow answer…
"The user that’s pushing to the /var/repo/awesome_repo.git doesn’t has any permissions in that path and is an step not covered during the tutorial.
To solve this what I did was:
sudo chown -R git_user:git_user /var/repo/awesome_repo.git/
Replace the git_user with the username you use to push via ssh."
This worked for me ^ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44446745/error-of-failed-to-push-some-refs-pushing-to-remote-repo-on-digital-ocean
