+git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--force] <repository> <refspec>...
+[verse]
+'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
+ [--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v] [<repository> <refspec>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
side are updated.
+
-Some short-cut notations are also supported.
+`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
+
-* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
-* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
- <ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
- in the source.
+A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source
+repository to the destination repository under the same name.
++
+Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from
+the remote repository.
\--all::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
line.
+\--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
+ Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
+ end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
+ repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
+ a directory on the default $PATH.
+
+\--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
+ Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
+
-f, \--force::
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
- not a descendent 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.
-include::urls.txt[]
+\--repo=<repo>::
+ When no repository is specified the command defaults to
+ "origin"; this overrides it.
+
+\--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.
+
+-v::
+ Run verbosely.

+Examples
+--------
+
+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.
+
+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 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.
