DESCRIPTION
-----------
--all::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
- refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` be pushed.
+ refs under `refs/heads/` be pushed.
--mirror::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
- refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/` (which includes but is not
+ refs under `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 tab-separated and sent to stdout instead of stderr. The full
symbolic names of the refs will be given.
+--delete::
+ All listed refs are deleted from the remote repository. This is
+ the same as prefixing all refs with a colon.
+
--tags::
- All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
+ All refs under `refs/tags` are pushed, in
addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
line.
--repo=<repository>::
This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
- passed in the invocation. In this case, 'git-push' derives the
+ passed in the invocation. In this case, 'git push' 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
+
is that #1 always pushes to "public" whereas #2 pushes to "public"
only if the current branch does not track a remote branch. This is
-useful if you write an alias or script around 'git-push'.

+-u::
+--set-upstream::
+ For every branch that is up to date or successfully pushed, add
+ upstream (tracking) reference, used by argument-less
+ linkgit:git-pull[1] and other commands. For more information,
+ see 'branch.<name>.merge' in linkgit:git-config[1].
--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.
+ These options are passed to linkgit:git-send-pack[1]. A thin transfer
+ significantly reduces the amount of sent data when the sender and
+ receiver share many of the same objects in common. The default is
+ \--thin.
-v::
--verbose::
<flag> \t <from>:<to> \t <summary> (<reason>)
-------------------------------
+The status of up-to-date refs is shown only if --porcelain or --verbose
+option is used.
+
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).
+ A single character indicating the status of the ref:
+(space);; for a successfully pushed fast-forward;

+`-`;; for a successfully deleted ref;
+`*`;; for a successfully pushed new 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.

For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new
