This means that someone made some updates to the git repository in
between your last pull and your current push. The (non-fast forward)
bit is the key part. You have to resolve the(potential) conflict
manually. You can either try to rebase the changes, or merge them. You
should try to rebase if possible (if you haven't published your
changes elsewhere), but it is not always possible (git pull --rebase
tries to do this).

Please read the git users guide.
