Sorry, looks like the error got mangled. I pasted it in this gist:

Hi,

I wanted to re-add a license file to my repository which got misplaced (no
changes to code). I followed the instructions in this link (
https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/pull-upstream-changes/) to
pull upstream changes.

I then followed these instructions (
https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/push-to-github-bioc/). I
successfully pushed the file to my Github repo, but when I reached step 6
to push the changes to Bioconductor, I got the following errors:

```

                                         bbafa73..160b7a7  master -> master
```

It appears that the upstream updated successfully but can you advise about
the errors?

Thank you,
Alina
