git-push(1)
===========
NAME
----
git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--force] <repository> <refspec>...
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
-------
<repository>::
The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
<refspec>::
The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
`+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
the destination ref.
+
The <src> 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 <src> is used
to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
+
Some short-cut notations are also supported.
+
* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
<ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
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 descendent 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.
