SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
+'git-push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
[--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v] [<repository> <refspec>...]
DESCRIPTION
Note: 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), then all the
-refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
+heads that exist both on the local side and on the remote
side are updated.
+
`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
\--all::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
- refs be pushed.
+ refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` be pushed.
+
+\--dry-run::
+ Do everything except actually send the updates.
\--tags::
All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
-f, \--force::
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
- not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it.
+ 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.
-v::
Run verbosely.
-include::urls.txt[]
+include::urls-remotes.txt[]
Examples
the ref that matches `satellite/master` (most likely, it would
be `refs/remotes/satellite/master`) in `origin` repository with it.
+git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental::
+ Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository
+ by copying the current `master` branch. This form is usually
+ needed to create a new branch in the remote repository as
+ there is no `experimental` branch to match.
