1git-push(1) 2=========== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--exec=<git-receive-pack>] [--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v] [<repository> <refspec>...] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15 16Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects 17necessary to complete the given refs. 18 19You can make interesting things happen to a repository 20every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See 21documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1]. 22 23 24OPTIONS 25------- 26<repository>:: 27 The "remote" repository that is destination of a push 28 operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below. 29 30<refspec>:: 31 The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is 32 `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed 33 by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by 34 the destination ref. 35+ 36The <src> side can be an 37arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an 38argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push 39four parents before the current master head). 40+ 41The local ref that matches <src> is used 42to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If 43the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated 44even if it does not result in a fast forward update. 45+ 46Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither 47on the command line nor in any Push line of the 48corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the 49refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote 50side are updated. 51+ 52`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`. 53+ 54A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to 55<ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref> 56in the source. 57+ 58Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from 59the remote repository. 60 61\--all:: 62 Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all 63 refs be pushed. 64 65\--tags:: 66 All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in 67 addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command 68 line. 69 70\--exec:: 71 Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote 72 end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote 73 repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in 74 a directory on the default $PATH. 75 76-f, \--force:: 77 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is 78 not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it. 79 This flag disables the check. This can cause the 80 remote repository to lose commits; use it with care. 81 82\--repo=<repo>:: 83 When no repository is specified the command defaults to 84 "origin"; this overrides it. 85 86\--thin, \--no-thin:: 87 These options are passed to `git-send-pack`. Thin 88 transfer spends extra cycles to minimize the number of 89 objects to be sent and meant to be used on slower connection. 90 91-v:: 92 Run verbosely. 93 94include::urls.txt[] 95 96Author 97------ 98Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>, later rewritten in C 99by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 100 101Documentation 102-------------- 103Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 104 105GIT 106--- 107Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 108
