I have a master and a beta branch. There is a situation where push is rejected:

edit2: I am on branch master.

$ git push
Counting objects: 9, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (6/6), done.
Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 669.81 KiB, done.
Total 6 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0)

   a5fc71d..64430c1  master -> master
 ! [rejected]        beta -> beta (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:foobar/codedemo.git'

Normally I would checkout beta, then pull beta and this wold probably solve it.

But because this is a production website I cannot checkout beta here. Is there a way I can pull beta without checking it out?

As this is a production site I am somehow stuck.

Edit: The code is also checked out on another location, can I do something from the other location to solve the problem here? There are no problems at the other location.

Edit3: With help of the accepted solution I could do it after some time, but I’d prefer a solution without a second client

    You could push beta as some other branch, then go somewhere where you can check it out to resolve it.

    git push origin beta:beta-temp
# on a different machine
git fetch
git checkout beta-temp
git rebase origin/beta # puts your new commits on top of the upstream
git push origin beta-temp:beta
git push origin :beta-temp # to delete it
