DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Usually you would want to use linkgit:git-push[1] which is a
-higher level wrapper of this command instead.
+Usually you would want to use 'git-push', which is a
+higher-level wrapper of this command, instead. See linkgit:git-push[1].
Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
destination side. The rules used to match a ref are the same
-rules used by linkgit:git-rev-parse[1] to resolve a symbolic ref
-name.

+name. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
local refs.
Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
-ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast forward check",
+ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast-forward check",
is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
-With '--force', the fast forward check is disabled for all refs.
+With '--force', the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
