The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing for new users, since it will push changes that are not on the current branch. Publishing patches that were still cooking on a development branch is hard to undo. It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know what branches matched on the server. Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

|
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] [<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.
|
|
+
|
|
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
|
|
heads that exist both on the local side and on the remote
|
|
side are updated.
|
|
+
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
\--all::
|
|
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
|
|
refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` be pushed.
|
|
|
|
\--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the updates.
|
|
|
|
\--tags::
|
|
All refs under `$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::
|
|
Run verbosely.

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.
|
|
|
|
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::
|
|
Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository
|
|
(most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update
|
|
the ref that matches `satellite/master` (most likely, it would
|
|
be `refs/remotes/satellite/master`) in `origin` repository with it.
|
|
|
|
git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental::
|
|
Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository
|
|
by copying the current `master` branch. This form is usually
|
|
needed to create a new branch in the remote repository as
|
|
there is no `experimental` branch to match.
