6 git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects
12 'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
13 [--repo=all] [-f | --force] [-v] [<repository> <refspec>...]
18 Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
19 necessary to complete the given refs.
21 You can make interesting things happen to a repository
22 every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See
23 documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].
29 The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
30 operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
33 The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
34 `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
35 by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
38 The <src> side can be an
39 arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
40 argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push
41 four parents before the current master head).
43 The local ref that matches <src> is used
44 to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
45 the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
46 even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
48 Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither
49 on the command line nor in any Push line of the
50 corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the
51 refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
54 `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
56 A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source
57 repository to the destination repository under the same name.
59 Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from
60 the remote repository.
63 Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
67 All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
68 addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
71 \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
72 Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
73 end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
74 repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
75 a directory on the default $PATH.
77 \--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
78 Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
81 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
82 not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it.
83 This flag disables the check. This can cause the
84 remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
87 When no repository is specified the command defaults to
88 "origin"; this overrides it.
91 These options are passed to `git-send-pack`. Thin
92 transfer spends extra cycles to minimize the number of
93 objects to be sent and meant to be used on slower connection.

104 git push origin master::
105 Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository
106 (most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update
107 the same ref (e.g. `refs/heads/master`) in `origin` repository
110 git push origin :experimental::
111 Find a ref that matches `experimental` in the `origin` repository
112 (e.g. `refs/heads/experimental`), and delete it.
114 git push origin master:satellite/master::
115 Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository
116 (most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update
117 the ref that matches `satellite/master` (most likely, it would
118 be `refs/remotes/satellite/master`) in `origin` repository with it.
