can't push bitbucket to existing repository from local folder

 ! [rejected]        master -> master (fetch first)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://[email protected]/username/repository-name.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do
hint: not have locally. This is usually caused by another repository pushing
hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes
hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

To fix this error try this command- 

 git push origin master --force
