19You can make "interesting" things to happen on the repository
20every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See
21documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].

26<repository>::
27 The "remote" repository that is destination of a push operation.

30<refspec>::
31 The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
32 `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
33 by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
34 the destination ref.
35+
36The <src> side can be an
37arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
38argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push
39four parents before the current master head).
40+
41The local ref that matches <src> is used
42to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
43the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
44even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
45+
46Some short-cut notations are also supported.
47+
48* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
49* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
50 <ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
51 in the source.

53\--all::
54 Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies all refs
55 to be pushed.

57\--tags::
58 All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
59 addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
60 line.

63 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
64 not a descendent of the local ref used to overwrite it.
65 This flag disables the check. This can cause the
66 remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
