Remote Rejected Main Git

Gitlab remote rejected main -> main (pre-receive hook declined) – Today I added a gitlab project repository in my vscode for the first time.

the command I use is as follows:

cd existing_repo
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/yourname/test.git
git branch -M main
git push -uf origin main

When I push my file to gitlab, then I get an error that I failed to upload the file to my gitlab repository. The error message that appears is as follows:

neon@NEON:~/Documents/SKY$ git push -uf origin main
