I want to try to push my development version to Bioconductor...

https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/push-to-github-bioc/

Tried but failed.
This is the message:

v3431-0a7785bc:drawProteins paulbrennan$ git push upstream devel

 ! [remote rejected] devel -> devel (hook declined)

error: failed to push some refs to 'git@git.bioconductor.org:packages/drawProteins.git'

v3431-0a7785bc:drawProteins paulbrennan$ 

I wonder why?
Does bumping version number make a difference?

No hook declined.


Very helpful answer back from Lori:

Bioconductor assumes the master branch of a github repository is the devel branch.  There is no devel branch on the git.bioconductor server so you will have to push the changes to upstream master.  This is slightly confusing but stated on the git help pages
