    do git pull origin monty_svm_dev first

    What has happened is that the remote has more recent changes than your branch.

    So before you can push your changes, you need to get and merge the changes on the remote first.

    You can do this either by doing a git checkout your_branch, then:

    git fetch origin your_branch and then a
    git merge your_branch

    or

    git pull origin your_branch # fetch and merge in one operation

    Where your branch is master, or your branch name (seems to be monty_svm_dev in your case I think)

    Once this is done (and any conflicts resolved) you can do a git push origin monty_svm_dev
