<p>git-push -
Update remote refs along with associated objects

<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="verseblock">
<div class="content"><em>git push</em> [--all | --mirror | --tags] [--dry-run] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]

<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="para"><p>Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
necessary to complete the given refs.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>You can make interesting things happen to a repository
every time you push into it, by setting up <em>hooks</em> there. See
documentation for <a href="git-receive-pack.html">git-receive-pack(1)</a>.</p></div>

<p>
The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
operation. This parameter can be either a URL
(see the section <a href="#URLS">GIT URLS</a> below) or the name
of a remote (see the section <a href="#REMOTES">REMOTES</a> below).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<refspec>…
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The format of a <refspec> parameter is an optional plus
<tt>+</tt>, followed by the source ref <src>, followed
by a colon <tt>:</tt>, followed by the destination ref <dst>.
It is used to specify with what <src> object the <dst> ref
in the remote repository is to be updated.
</p>
<div class="para"><p>The <src> is often the name of the branch you would want to push, but
it can be any arbitrary "SHA-1 expression", such as <tt>master~4</tt> or

<div class="para"><p>The object referenced by <src> is used to update the <dst> reference
on the remote side, but by default this is only allowed if the
update can fast forward <dst>. By having the optional leading <tt>+</tt>,
you can tell git to update the <dst> ref even when the update is not a
fast forward. This does <strong>not</strong> attempt to merge <src> into <dst>. See
EXAMPLES below for details.</p></div>

<div class="para"><p>The special refspec <tt>:</tt> (or <tt>+:</tt> to allow non-fast forward updates)
directs git to push "matching" branches: for every branch that exists on
the local side, the remote side is updated if a branch 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).</p></div>

--force

<dd>
<p>
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.

<p>
This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
passed in the invocation. In this case, <em>git-push</em> derives the
remote name from the current branch: If it tracks a remote
branch, then that remote repository is pushed to. Otherwise,
the name "origin" is used. For this latter case, this option
can be used to override the name "origin". In other words,
the difference between these two commands

A single character indicating the status of the ref. This is

failed update, more details are given for the failure.
The string <tt>rejected</tt> indicates that git did not try to send the
ref at all (typically because it is not a fast forward). The
string <tt>remote rejected</tt> indicates that the remote end refused
the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the
remote side. The string <tt>remote failure</tt> indicates that the
remote end did not report the successful update of the ref

break in the network connection, or other transient error).

<dt>
git push origin master
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Find a ref that matches <tt>master</tt> in the source repository
(most likely, it would find <tt>refs/heads/master</tt>), and update
the same ref (e.g. <tt>refs/heads/master</tt>) in <tt>origin</tt> repository
with it. If <tt>master</tt> did not exist remotely, it would be
created.

</dd>

git push origin HEAD

A handy way to push the current branch to the same name on the
remote.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git push origin master:satellite/master dev:satellite/dev
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use the source ref that matches <tt>master</tt> (e.g. <tt>refs/heads/master</tt>)
to update the ref that matches <tt>satellite/master</tt> (most probably
<tt>refs/remotes/satellite/master</tt>) in the <tt>origin</tt> repository, then
do the same for <tt>dev</tt> and <tt>satellite/dev</tt>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git push origin HEAD:master
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Push the current branch to the remote ref matching <tt>master</tt> in the
<tt>origin</tt> repository. This form is convenient to push the current
branch without thinking about its local name.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Create the branch <tt>experimental</tt> in the <tt>origin</tt> repository
by copying the current <tt>master</tt> 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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git push origin :experimental
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Find a ref that matches <tt>experimental</tt> in the <tt>origin</tt> repository
(e.g. <tt>refs/heads/experimental</tt>), and delete it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git push origin +dev:master

<dd>

Update the origin repository's master branch with the dev branch,
allowing non-fast forward updates. <strong>This can leave unreferenced
commits dangling in the origin repository.</strong> Consider the
following situation, where a fast forward is not possible:
