DESCRIPTION
-----------
+
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 `master~4` or
-`HEAD` (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]).
+`HEAD` (see linkgit:gitrevisions[7]).
+
The <dst> tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this
push. Arbitrary expressions cannot be used here, an actual ref must
receiver share many of the same objects in common. The default is
\--thin.
+-q::
+--quiet::
+ Suppress all output, including the listing of updated refs,
+ unless an error occurs. Progress is not reported to the standard
+ error stream.
+
-v::
--verbose::
Run verbosely.
--q::
---quiet::
- Suppress all output, including the listing of updated refs,
- unless an error occurs.
+--progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+ is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the
+ standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
include::urls-remotes.txt[]
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).
+ `<old>\...<new>` for forced non-fast-forward updates).
++
+For a failed update, more details are given:
++
+--
+rejected::
+ Git did not try to send the ref at all, typically because it
+ is not a fast-forward and you did not force the update.
+
+remote rejected::
+ The remote end refused the update. Usually caused by a hook
+ on the remote side, or because the remote repository has one
+ of the following safety options in effect:
+ `receive.denyCurrentBranch` (for pushes to the checked out
+ branch), `receive.denyNonFastForwards` (for forced
+ non-fast-forward updates), `receive.denyDeletes` or
+ `receive.denyDeleteCurrent`. See linkgit:git-config[1].

Examples
--------
-git push::
+`git push`::
Works like `git push <remote>`, where <remote> is the
current branch's remote (or `origin`, if no remote is
configured for the current branch).
-git push origin::
+`git push origin`::
Without additional configuration, works like
`git push origin :`.
+
the ones in the examples below) can be configured as the default for
`git push origin`.
-git push origin :::
+`git push origin :`::
Push "matching" branches to `origin`. See
<refspec> in the <<OPTIONS,OPTIONS>> section above for a
description of "matching" branches.
-git push origin master::
+`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 HEAD::
+`git push origin HEAD`::
A handy way to push the current branch to the same name on the
remote.
-git push origin master:satellite/master dev:satellite/dev::
+`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 HEAD:master::
+`git push origin HEAD:master`::
Push the current branch to the remote ref matching `master` in the
`origin` repository. This form is convenient to push the current
branch without thinking about its local name.
-git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental::
+`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.
-git push origin :experimental::
+`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 {plus}dev:master::
+`git push origin {plus}dev:master`::
Update the origin repository's master branch with the dev branch,
allowing non-fast-forward updates. *This can leave unreferenced
commits dangling in the origin repository.* Consider the
and so would be unreachable. As such, these commits would be removed by
a `git gc` command on the origin repository.
