DESCRIPTION
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
refs under `refs/heads/` be pushed.
+--prune::
+ Remove remote branches that don't have a local counterpart. For example
+ a remote branch `tmp` will be removed if a local branch with the same
+ name doesn't exist any more. This also respects refspecs, e.g.
+ `git push --prune remote refs/heads/{asterisk}:refs/tmp/{asterisk}` would
+ make sure that remote `refs/tmp/foo` will be removed if `refs/heads/foo`
+ doesn't exist.
+
--mirror::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
refs under `refs/` (which includes but is not
is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the
standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
+--recurse-submodules=check::
+ Check whether all submodule commits used by the revisions to be
+ pushed are available on a remote tracking branch. Otherwise the
+ push will be aborted and the command will exit with non-zero status.

OUTPUT
Examples
--------
-git push::
+`git push`::
Works like `git push <remote>`, where <remote> is the
current branch's remote (or `origin`, if no remote is
configured for the current branch).
-git push origin::
+`git push origin`::
Without additional configuration, works like
`git push origin :`.
+
the ones in the examples below) can be configured as the default for
`git push origin`.
-git push origin :::
+`git push origin :`::
Push "matching" branches to `origin`. See
<refspec> in the <<OPTIONS,OPTIONS>> section above for a
description of "matching" branches.
-git push origin master::
+`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. If `master` did not exist remotely, it would be
created.
-git push origin HEAD::
+`git push origin HEAD`::
A handy way to push the current branch to the same name on the
remote.
-git push origin master:satellite/master dev:satellite/dev::
+`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 HEAD:master::
+`git push origin HEAD:master`::
Push the current branch to the remote ref matching `master` in the
`origin` repository. This form is convenient to push the current
branch without thinking about its local name.
-git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental::
+`git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental`::
Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository
by copying the current `master` branch. This form is only
needed to create a new branch or tag in the remote repository when
the local name and the remote name are different; otherwise,
the ref name on its own will work.
-git push origin :experimental::
+`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 {plus}dev:master::
+`git push origin {plus}dev:master`::
Update the origin repository's master branch with the dev branch,
allowing non-fast-forward updates. *This can leave unreferenced
commits dangling in the origin repository.* Consider the
and so would be unreachable. As such, these commits would be removed by
a `git gc` command on the origin repository.
