 765 <div class="paragraph"><p>Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
 766 necessary to complete the given refs.</p></div>
 767 <div class="paragraph"><p>You can make interesting things happen to a repository
 768 every time you push into it, by setting up <em>hooks</em> there.  See
 769 documentation for <a href="git-receive-pack.html">git-receive-pack(1)</a>.</p></div>
 770 <div class="paragraph"><p>When the command line does not specify where to push with the
 771 <code>&lt;repository&gt;</code> argument, <code>branch.*.remote</code> configuration for the
 772 current branch is consulted to determine where to push.  If the
 773 configuration is missing, it defaults to <em>origin</em>.</p></div>
 774 <div class="paragraph"><p>When the command line does not specify what to push with <code>&lt;refspec&gt;...</code>
 775 arguments or <code>--all</code>, <code>--mirror</code>, <code>--tags</code> options, the command finds
 776 the default <code>&lt;refspec&gt;</code> by consulting <code>remote.*.push</code> configuration,
 777 and if it is not found, honors <code>push.default</code> configuration to decide
 778 what to push (See <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> for the meaning of <code>push.default</code>).</p></div>
 779 <div class="paragraph"><p>When neither the command-line nor the configuration specifies what to
 780 push, the default behavior is used, which corresponds to the <code>simple</code>
 781 value for <code>push.default</code>: the current branch is pushed to the
 782 corresponding upstream branch, but as a safety measure, the push is
 783 aborted if the upstream branch does not have the same name as the
 784 local one.</p></div>

 796         The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
 797         operation.  This parameter can be either a URL
 798         (see the section <a href="#URLS">GIT URLS</a> below) or the name
 799         of a remote (see the section <a href="#REMOTES">REMOTES</a> below).

 807         Specify what destination ref to update with what source object.
 808         The format of a &lt;refspec&gt; parameter is an optional plus
 809         <code>+</code>, followed by the source object &lt;src&gt;, followed
 810         by a colon <code>:</code>, followed by the destination ref &lt;dst&gt;.
 811 </p>
 812 <div class="paragraph"><p>The &lt;src&gt; is often the name of the branch you would want to push, but
 813 it can be any arbitrary "SHA-1 expression", such as <code>master~4</code> or
 814 <code>HEAD</code> (see <a href="gitrevisions.html">gitrevisions(7)</a>).</p></div>
 815 <div class="paragraph"><p>The &lt;dst&gt; tells which ref on the remote side is updated with this
 816 push. Arbitrary expressions cannot be used here, an actual ref must
 817 be named.
 818 If <code>git push [&lt;repository&gt;]</code> without any <code>&lt;refspec&gt;</code> argument is set to
 819 update some ref at the destination with <code>&lt;src&gt;</code> with
 820 <code>remote.&lt;repository&gt;.push</code> configuration variable, <code>:&lt;dst&gt;</code> part can
 821 be omitted&#8212;such a push will update a ref that <code>&lt;src&gt;</code> normally updates
 822 without any <code>&lt;refspec&gt;</code> on the command line.  Otherwise, missing
 823 <code>:&lt;dst&gt;</code> means to update the same ref as the <code>&lt;src&gt;</code>.</p></div>
 824 <div class="paragraph"><p>If &lt;dst&gt; doesn&#8217;t start with <code>refs/</code> (e.g. <code>refs/heads/master</code>) we will
 825 try to infer where in <code>refs/*</code> on the destination &lt;repository&gt; it
 826 belongs based on the type of &lt;src&gt; being pushed and whether &lt;dst&gt;
 827 is ambiguous.</p></div>

 830 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 831 <li>
 832 <p>
 833 If &lt;dst&gt; unambiguously refers to a ref on the &lt;repository&gt; remote,
 834   then push to that ref.
 835 </p>
 836 </li>
 837 <li>
 838 <p>
 839 If &lt;src&gt; resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads/ or refs/tags/,
 840   then prepend that to &lt;dst&gt;.
 841 </p>
 842 </li>
 843 <li>
 844 <p>
 845 Other ambiguity resolutions might be added in the future, but for
 846   now any other cases will error out with an error indicating what we
 847   tried, and depending on the <code>advice.pushUnqualifiedRefname</code>
 848   configuration (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>) suggest what refs/
 849   namespace you may have wanted to push to.
 850 </p>
 851 </li>
 852 </ul></div>
 853 </div></div>
 854 <div class="paragraph"><p>The object referenced by &lt;src&gt; is used to update the &lt;dst&gt; reference
 855 on the remote side. Whether this is allowed depends on where in
 856 <code>refs/*</code> the &lt;dst&gt; reference lives as described in detail below, in
 857 those sections "update" means any modifications except deletes, which
 858 as noted after the next few sections are treated differently.</p></div>
 859 <div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>refs/heads/*</code> namespace will only accept commit objects, and
 860 updates only if they can be fast-forwarded.</p></div>
 861 <div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>refs/tags/*</code> namespace will accept any kind of object (as
 862 commits, trees and blobs can be tagged), and any updates to them will
 863 be rejected.</p></div>
 864 <div class="paragraph"><p>It&#8217;s possible to push any type of object to any namespace outside of
 865 <code>refs/{tags,heads}/*</code>. In the case of tags and commits, these will be
 866 treated as if they were the commits inside <code>refs/heads/*</code> for the
 867 purposes of whether the update is allowed.</p></div>
 868 <div class="paragraph"><p>I.e. a fast-forward of commits and tags outside <code>refs/{tags,heads}/*</code>
 869 is allowed, even in cases where what&#8217;s being fast-forwarded is not a
 870 commit, but a tag object which happens to point to a new commit which
 871 is a fast-forward of the commit the last tag (or commit) it&#8217;s
 872 replacing. Replacing a tag with an entirely different tag is also
 873 allowed, if it points to the same commit, as well as pushing a peeled
 874 tag, i.e. pushing the commit that existing tag object points to, or a
 875 new tag object which an existing commit points to.</p></div>
 876 <div class="paragraph"><p>Tree and blob objects outside of <code>refs/{tags,heads}/*</code> will be treated
 877 the same way as if they were inside <code>refs/tags/*</code>, any update of them
 878 will be rejected.</p></div>
 879 <div class="paragraph"><p>All of the rules described above about what&#8217;s not allowed as an update
 880 can be overridden by adding an the optional leading <code>+</code> to a refspec
 881 (or using <code>--force</code> command line option). The only exception to this
 882 is that no amount of forcing will make the <code>refs/heads/*</code> namespace
 883 accept a non-commit object. Hooks and configuration can also override
 884 or amend these rules, see e.g. <code>receive.denyNonFastForwards</code> in
 885 <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> and <code>pre-receive</code> and <code>update</code> in
 886 <a href="githooks.html">githooks(5)</a>.</p></div>
 887 <div class="paragraph"><p>Pushing an empty &lt;src&gt; allows you to delete the &lt;dst&gt; ref from the
 888 remote repository. Deletions are always accepted without a leading <code>+</code>
 889 in the refspec (or <code>--force</code>), except when forbidden by configuration
 890 or hooks. See <code>receive.denyDeletes</code> in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> and
 891 <code>pre-receive</code> and <code>update</code> in <a href="githooks.html">githooks(5)</a>.</p></div>
 892 <div class="paragraph"><p>The special refspec <code>:</code> (or <code>+:</code> to allow non-fast-forward updates)
 893 directs Git to push "matching" branches: for every branch that exists on
 894 the local side, the remote side is updated if a branch of the same name
 895 already exists on the remote side.</p></div>
 896 <div class="paragraph"><p><code>tag &lt;tag&gt;</code> means the same as <code>refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;:refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;</code>.</p></div>

1067         Usually, "git push" refuses to update a remote ref that is
1068         not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
1069 </p>
1070 <div class="paragraph"><p>This option overrides this restriction if the current value of the
1071 remote ref is the expected value.  "git push" fails otherwise.</p></div>
1072 <div class="paragraph"><p>Imagine that you have to rebase what you have already published.
1073 You will have to bypass the "must fast-forward" rule in order to
1074 replace the history you originally published with the rebased history.
1075 If somebody else built on top of your original history while you are
1076 rebasing, the tip of the branch at the remote may advance with their
1077 commit, and blindly pushing with <code>--force</code> will lose their work.</p></div>
1078 <div class="paragraph"><p>This option allows you to say that you expect the history you are
1079 updating is what you rebased and want to replace. If the remote ref
1080 still points at the commit you specified, you can be sure that no
1081 other people did anything to the ref. It is like taking a "lease" on
1082 the ref without explicitly locking it, and the remote ref is updated
1083 only if the "lease" is still valid.</p></div>
1084 <div class="paragraph"><p><code>--force-with-lease</code> alone, without specifying the details, will protect
1085 all remote refs that are going to be updated by requiring their
1086 current value to be the same as the remote-tracking branch we have
1087 for them.</p></div>
1088 <div class="paragraph"><p><code>--force-with-lease=&lt;refname&gt;</code>, without specifying the expected value, will
1089 protect the named ref (alone), if it is going to be updated, by
1090 requiring its current value to be the same as the remote-tracking
1091 branch we have for it.</p></div>
1092 <div class="paragraph"><p><code>--force-with-lease=&lt;refname&gt;:&lt;expect&gt;</code> will protect the named ref (alone),
1093 if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be
1094 the same as the specified value <code>&lt;expect&gt;</code> (which is allowed to be
1095 different from the remote-tracking branch we have for the refname,
1096 or we do not even have to have such a remote-tracking branch when
1097 this form is used).  If <code>&lt;expect&gt;</code> is the empty string, then the named ref
1098 must not already exist.</p></div>
1099 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that all forms other than <code>--force-with-lease=&lt;refname&gt;:&lt;expect&gt;</code>
1100 that specifies the expected current value of the ref explicitly are
1101 still experimental and their semantics may change as we gain experience
1102 with this feature.</p></div>
1103 <div class="paragraph"><p>"--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the
1104 command line.</p></div>
1105 <div class="paragraph"><p>A general note on safety: supplying this option without an expected
1106 value, i.e. as <code>--force-with-lease</code> or <code>--force-with-lease=&lt;refname&gt;</code>
1107 interacts very badly with anything that implicitly runs <code>git fetch</code> on
1108 the remote to be pushed to in the background, e.g. <code>git fetch origin</code>
1109 on your repository in a cronjob.</p></div>
1110 <div class="paragraph"><p>The protection it offers over <code>--force</code> is ensuring that subsequent
1111 changes your work wasn&#8217;t based on aren&#8217;t clobbered, but this is
1112 trivially defeated if some background process is updating refs in the
1113 background. We don&#8217;t have anything except the remote tracking info to
1114 go by as a heuristic for refs you&#8217;re expected to have seen &amp; are
1115 willing to clobber.</p></div>
1116 <div class="paragraph"><p>If your editor or some other system is running <code>git fetch</code> in the
1117 background for you a way to mitigate this is to simply set up another
1118 remote:</p></div>
1119 <div class="literalblock">
1120 <div class="content">
1121 <pre><code>git remote add origin-push $(git config remote.origin.url)
1122 git fetch origin-push</code></pre>
1123 </div></div>
1124 <div class="paragraph"><p>Now when the background process runs <code>git fetch origin</code> the references
1125 on <code>origin-push</code> won&#8217;t be updated, and thus commands like:</p></div>
1126 <div class="literalblock">
1127 <div class="content">
1128 <pre><code>git push --force-with-lease origin-push</code></pre>
1129 </div></div>
1130 <div class="paragraph"><p>Will fail unless you manually run <code>git fetch origin-push</code>. This method
1131 is of course entirely defeated by something that runs <code>git fetch
1132 --all</code>, in that case you&#8217;d need to either disable it or do something
1133 more tedious like:</p></div>
1134 <div class="literalblock">
1135 <div class="content">
1136 <pre><code>git fetch              # update 'master' from remote
1137 git tag base master    # mark our base point
1138 git rebase -i master   # rewrite some commits
1139 git push --force-with-lease=master:base master:master</code></pre>
1140 </div></div>
1141 <div class="paragraph"><p>I.e. create a <code>base</code> tag for versions of the upstream code that you&#8217;ve
1142 seen and are willing to overwrite, then rewrite history, and finally
1143 force push changes to <code>master</code> if the remote version is still at
1144 <code>base</code>, regardless of what your local <code>remotes/origin/master</code> has been
1145 updated to in the background.</p></div>
1146 <div class="paragraph"><p>Alternatively, specifying <code>--force-if-includes</code> as an ancillary option
1147 along with <code>--force-with-lease[=&lt;refname&gt;]</code> (i.e., without saying what
1148 exact commit the ref on the remote side must be pointing at, or which
1149 refs on the remote side are being protected) at the time of "push" will
1150 verify if updates from the remote-tracking refs that may have been
1151 implicitly updated in the background are integrated locally before
1152 allowing a forced update.</p></div>

1173 other than the current branch (including local refs that are
1174 strictly behind their remote counterpart).  To force a push to only
1175 one branch, use a <code>+</code> in front of the refspec to push (e.g <code>git push

1717 <div class="sectionbody">
1718 <div class="paragraph"><p>When an update changes a branch (or more in general, a ref) that used to
1719 point at commit A to point at another commit B, it is called a
1720 fast-forward update if and only if B is a descendant of A.</p></div>
1721 <div class="paragraph"><p>In a fast-forward update from A to B, the set of commits that the original
1722 commit A built on top of is a subset of the commits the new commit B
1723 builds on top of.  Hence, it does not lose any history.</p></div>
1724 <div class="paragraph"><p>In contrast, a non-fast-forward update will lose history.  For example,
1725 suppose you and somebody else started at the same commit X, and you built
1726 a history leading to commit B while the other person built a history
1727 leading to commit A.  The history looks like this:</p></div>
1728 <div class="listingblock">
1729 <div class="content">
1730 <pre><code>      B
1731      /
1732  ---X---A</code></pre>
1733 </div></div>
1734 <div class="paragraph"><p>Further suppose that the other person already pushed changes leading to A
1735 back to the original repository from which you two obtained the original
1736 commit X.</p></div>
1737 <div class="paragraph"><p>The push done by the other person updated the branch that used to point at
1738 commit X to point at commit A.  It is a fast-forward.</p></div>
1739 <div class="paragraph"><p>But if you try to push, you will attempt to update the branch (that
1740 now points at A) with commit B.  This does <em>not</em> fast-forward.  If you did
1741 so, the changes introduced by commit A will be lost, because everybody
1742 will now start building on top of B.</p></div>
1743 <div class="paragraph"><p>The command by default does not allow an update that is not a fast-forward
1744 to prevent such loss of history.</p></div>
1745 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you do not want to lose your work (history from X to B) or the work by
1746 the other person (history from X to A), you would need to first fetch the
1747 history from the repository, create a history that contains changes done
1748 by both parties, and push the result back.</p></div>
1749 <div class="paragraph"><p>You can perform "git pull", resolve potential conflicts, and "git push"
1750 the result.  A "git pull" will create a merge commit C between commits A
1751 and B.</p></div>
1752 <div class="listingblock">
1753 <div class="content">
1754 <pre><code>      B---C
1755      /   /
1756  ---X---A</code></pre>
1757 </div></div>
1758 <div class="paragraph"><p>Updating A with the resulting merge commit will fast-forward and your
1759 push will be accepted.</p></div>
1760 <div class="paragraph"><p>Alternatively, you can rebase your change between X and B on top of A,
1761 with "git pull --rebase", and push the result back.  The rebase will
1762 create a new commit D that builds the change between X and B on top of
1763 A.</p></div>
1764 <div class="listingblock">
1765 <div class="content">
1766 <pre><code>      B   D
1767      /   /
1768  ---X---A</code></pre>
1769 </div></div>
1770 <div class="paragraph"><p>Again, updating A with this commit will fast-forward and your push will be
1771 accepted.</p></div>
1772 <div class="paragraph"><p>There is another common situation where you may encounter non-fast-forward
1773 rejection when you try to push, and it is possible even when you are
1774 pushing into a repository nobody else pushes into. After you push commit
1775 A yourself (in the first picture in this section), replace it with "git
1776 commit --amend" to produce commit B, and you try to push it out, because
1777 forgot that you have pushed A out already. In such a case, and only if
1778 you are certain that nobody in the meantime fetched your earlier commit A
1779 (and started building on top of it), you can run "git push --force" to
1780 overwrite it. In other words, "git push --force" is a method reserved for
1781 a case where you do mean to lose history.</p></div>

1934 <div class="paragraph"><p>The fetch and push protocols are not designed to prevent one side from
1935 stealing data from the other repository that was not intended to be
1936 shared. If you have private data that you need to protect from a malicious
1937 peer, your best option is to store it in another repository. This applies
1938 to both clients and servers. In particular, namespaces on a server are not
1939 effective for read access control; you should only grant read access to a
1940 namespace to clients that you would trust with read access to the entire
1941 repository.</p></div>
1942 <div class="paragraph"><p>The known attack vectors are as follows:</p></div>
1943 <div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
1944 <li>
1945 <p>
1946 The victim sends "have" lines advertising the IDs of objects it has that
1947   are not explicitly intended to be shared but can be used to optimize the
1948   transfer if the peer also has them. The attacker chooses an object ID X
1949   to steal and sends a ref to X, but isn&#8217;t required to send the content of
1950   X because the victim already has it. Now the victim believes that the
1951   attacker has X, and it sends the content of X back to the attacker
1952   later. (This attack is most straightforward for a client to perform on a
1953   server, by creating a ref to X in the namespace the client has access
1954   to and then fetching it. The most likely way for a server to perform it
1955   on a client is to "merge" X into a public branch and hope that the user
1956   does additional work on this branch and pushes it back to the server
1957   without noticing the merge.)
1958 </p>
1959 </li>
1960 <li>
1961 <p>
1962 As in #1, the attacker chooses an object ID X to steal. The victim sends
1963   an object Y that the attacker already has, and the attacker falsely
1964   claims to have X and not Y, so the victim sends Y as a delta against X.
1965   The delta reveals regions of X that are similar to Y to the attacker.

1985         takes effect with push.default options <em>simple</em>, <em>upstream</em>,
1986         and <em>current</em>. It is useful if by default you want new branches
1987         to be pushed to the default remote (like the behavior of
1988         <em>push.default=current</em>) and you also want the upstream tracking
1989         to be set. Workflows most likely to benefit from this option are
1990         <em>simple</em> central workflows where all branches are expected to
1991         have the same name on the remote.

2041 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you are working on a centralized workflow (pushing to the same repository you

2049 <code>matching</code> - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
2050   This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
2051   branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push <em>maint</em>
2052   and <em>master</em> there and no other branches, the repository you push
2053   to will have these two branches, and your local <em>maint</em> and
2054   <em>master</em> will be pushed there).
2055 </p>
2056 <div class="paragraph"><p>To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure <em>all</em> the
2057 branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
2058 running <em>git push</em>, as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
2059 to push all of the branches in one go.  If you usually finish work
2060 on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
2061 unfinished, this mode is not for you.  Also this mode is not
2062 suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
2063 people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
2064 branches outside your control.</p></div>
