SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
- [--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v | --verbose] [<repository> <refspec>...]
+'git push' [--all | --mirror] [--dry-run] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
+ [--repo=<repository>] [-f | --force] [-v | --verbose]
+ [<repository> <refspec>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
-<refspec>::
+<refspec>...::
The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
- `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
+ `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `{plus}`, followed
by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
the destination ref.
+
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.
+--repo=<repository>::
+ This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
+ 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
+ can be used to override the name "origin". In other words,
+ the difference between these two commands
++
+--------------------------
+git push public #1
+git push --repo=public #2
+--------------------------
++
+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'.
--thin::
--no-thin::
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: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 master:refs/heads/experimental::
Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository
