Unable to push to the aur

hello, I recently tried to create an aur package, but after many problems I decided to "reset" the package by submitting a deletion request and recreating the package, it was a very stupid idea

the package is still working, I can yay -S it etc...

but  when I try to git push I get the following output

```
Enumerating objects: 9, done.
Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (9/9), done.
Writing objects: 100% (9/9), 1.51 KiB | 515.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 9 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
remote: error: cannot overwrite package: mini-matrix-git
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
To ssh://aur.archlinux.org/mini-matrix.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://aur.archlinux.org/mini-matrix.git'
```

I tried to git pull but
```
git pull origin master                                                                 
Enter passphrase for key '/home/skwal/.ssh/id_rsa': 
fatal: couldn't find remote ref master
```

Re: Unable to push to the aur

You cannot remove the git history of a package once it is pushed. "Deletion" on the AUR just means that the package won't show up in searches.

Clone the existing git repo, apply your changes to that and then push to the AUR.

Re: Unable to push to the aur

Are we talking about mini-matrix or mini-matrix-git here?
