git-push(1) =========== NAME ---- git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--force] ... DESCRIPTION ----------- Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects necessary to complete the given refs. You can make interesting things happen to a repository every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1]. OPTIONS ------- :: The "remote" repository that is destination of a push operation. See the section <> below. :: The canonical format of a parameter is `+?:`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by the destination ref. + The side can be an arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push four parents before the current master head). + The local ref that matches is used to fast forward the remote ref that matches . If the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated even if it does not result in a fast forward update. + Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither on the command line nor in any Push line of the corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote side are updated. + Some short-cut notations are also supported. + * `tag ` means the same as `refs/tags/:refs/tags/`. * A parameter without a colon is equivalent to `:`, hence updates in the destination from in the source. \--all:: Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all refs be pushed. \--tags:: All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command line. -f, \--force:: Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it. This flag disables the check. This can cause the remote repository to lose commits; use it with care. include::urls.txt[] Author ------ Written by Junio C Hamano Documentation -------------- Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list .
