git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
|
|
[--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v | --verbose]
|
|
[<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 linkgit: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 each <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 represents the source branch (or arbitrary
|
|
"SHA1 expression", such as `master~4` (four parents before the
|
|
tip of `master` branch); see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]) that you
|
|
want to push. The <dst> side represents the destination location.
|
|
+
|
|
The local ref that matches <src> is used
|
|
to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst> (or, if no <dst> was
|
|
specified, the same ref that <src> referred to locally). If
|
|
the optional leading plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
|
|
even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
|
|
+
|
|
`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
|
|
+
|
|
A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source
|
|
repository to the destination repository under the same name.
|
|
+
|
|
Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from
|
|
the remote repository.
|
|
+
|
|
The special refspec `:` (or `+:` to allow non-fast forward updates)
|
|
directs git to push "matching" heads: for every head that exists on
|
|
the local side, the remote side is updated if a head of the same name
|
|
already exists on the remote side. This is the default operation mode
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
|
|
refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` be pushed.
|
|
|
|
--mirror::
|
|
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
|
|
refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/` (which includes but is not
|
|
limited to `refs/heads/`, `refs/remotes/`, and `refs/tags/`)
|
|
be mirrored to the remote repository. Newly created local
|
|
refs will be pushed to the remote end, locally updated refs
|
|
will be force updated on the remote end, and deleted refs
|
|
will be removed from the remote end. This is the default
|
|
if the configuration option `remote.<remote>.mirror` is
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the updates.
|
|
|
|
--tags::
|
|
All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
|
|
addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
|
|
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
|
|
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
|
|
a directory on the default $PATH.
|
|
|
|
--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
--force::
|
|
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
|
|
not an ancestor 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.
|
|
|
|
--repo=<repo>::
|
|
When no repository is specified the command defaults to
|
|
"origin"; this overrides it.
|
|
|
|
--thin::
|
|
--no-thin::
|
|
These options are passed to 'git-send-pack'. Thin
|
|
transfer spends extra cycles to minimize the number of
|
|
objects to be sent and meant to be used on slower connection.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Run verbosely.

|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The output of "git push" depends on the transport method used; this
|
|
section describes the output when pushing over the git protocol (either
|
|
locally or via ssh).
|
|
|
|
The status of the push is output in tabular form, with each line
|
|
representing the status of a single ref. Each line is of the form:
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
<flag> <summary> <from> -> <to> (<reason>)
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
flag::
|
|
A single character indicating the status of the ref. This is
|
|
blank for a successfully pushed ref, `!` for a ref that was
|
|
rejected or failed to push, and '=' for a ref that was up to
|
|
date and did not need pushing (note that the status of up to
|
|
date refs is shown only when `git push` is running verbosely).
|
|
|
|
summary::
|
|
For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new
|
|
values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to
|
|
`git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and
|
|
`<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast forward updates). For a
|
|
failed update, more details are given for the failure.
|
|
The string `rejected` indicates that git did not try to send the
|
|
ref at all (typically because it is not a fast forward). The
|
|
string `remote rejected` indicates that the remote end refused
|
|
the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the
|
|
remote side. The string `remote failure` indicates that the
|
|
remote end did not report the successful update of the ref
|
|
(perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a
|
|
break in the network connection, or other transient error).
|
|
|
|
from::
|
|
The name of the local ref being pushed, minus its
|
|
`refs/<type>/` prefix. In the case of deletion, the
|
|
name of the local ref is omitted.
|
|
|
|
to::
|
|
The name of the remote ref being updated, minus its
|
|
`refs/<type>/` prefix.
|
|
|
|
reason::
|
|
A human-readable explanation. In the case of successfully pushed
|
|
refs, no explanation is needed. For a failed ref, the reason for
|
|
failure is described.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
git push origin master::
|
|
Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository
|
|
(most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update
|
|
the same ref (e.g. `refs/heads/master`) in `origin` repository
|
|
with it. If `master` did not exist remotely, it would be
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
git push origin :experimental::
|
|
Find a ref that matches `experimental` in the `origin` repository
|
|
(e.g. `refs/heads/experimental`), and delete it.
|
|
|
|
git push origin master:satellite/master dev:satellite/dev::
|
|
Use the source ref that matches `master` (e.g. `refs/heads/master`)
|
|
to update the ref that matches `satellite/master` (most probably
|
|
`refs/remotes/satellite/master`) in the `origin` repository, then
|
|
do the same for `dev` and `satellite/dev`.
|
|
|
|
git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental::
|
|
Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository
|
|
by copying the current `master` branch. This form is only
|
|
needed to create a new branch or tag in the remote repository when
|
|
the local name and the remote name are different; otherwise,
|
|
the ref name on its own will work.
