15 | DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ----------- | |
ab9b3138 JH |
17 | |
18 | Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects | |
19 | necessary to complete the given refs. | |
7fc9d69f | 20 | |
cc55aaec | 21 | You can make interesting things happen to a repository |
eb0362a4 | 22 | every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See |
5162e697 | 23 | documentation for linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. |

26 | OPTIONS | |
27 | ------- | |
3598a308 | 28 | <repository>:: |
85a97d4e BF |
29 | The "remote" repository that is destination of a push |
30 | operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below. | |
3598a308 BF |
31 | |
32 | <refspec>:: | |
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 | |
36 | the destination ref. | |
37 | + | |
491b1b11 SV |
38 | The <src> side represents the source branch (or arbitrary |
39 | "SHA1 expression", such as `master~4` (four parents before the | |
40 | tip of `master` branch); see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]) that you | |
41 | want to push. The <dst> side represents the destination location. | |
3598a308 BF |
42 | + |
43 | The local ref that matches <src> is used | |
491b1b11 SV |
44 | to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst> (or, if no <dst> was |
45 | specified, the same ref that <src> referred to locally). If | |
46 | the optional leading plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated | |
3598a308 BF |
47 | even if it does not result in a fast forward update. |
48 | + | |
25fb6290 | 49 | `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`. |
3598a308 | 50 | + |
bb9fca80 JH |
51 | A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source |
52 | repository to the destination repository under the same name. | |
25fb6290 JH |
53 | + |
54 | Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from | |
55 | the remote repository. | |
a83619d6 PB |
56 | + |
57 | The special refspec `:` (or `+:` to allow non-fast forward updates) | |
58 | directs git to push "matching" heads: for every head that exists on | |
59 | the local side, the remote side is updated if a head of the same name | |
60 | already exists on the remote side. This is the default operation mode | |
61 | if no explicit refspec is found (that is neither on the command line | |
62 | nor in any Push line of the corresponding remotes file---see below). | |
7fc9d69f | 63 | |
d6a73596 | 64 | \--all:: |
cc55aaec | 65 | Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all |
5c633a4c | 66 | refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` be pushed. |
d6a73596 | 67 | |
ff206748 AW |
68 | \--mirror:: |
69 | Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all | |
70 | refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/` and `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/` | |
71 | be mirrored to the remote repository. Newly created local | |
72 | refs will be pushed to the remote end, locally updated refs | |
73 | will be force updated on the remote end, and deleted refs | |
84bb2dfd PB |
74 | will be removed from the remote end. This is the default |
75 | if the configuration option `remote.<remote>.mirror` is | |
76 | set. | |
ff206748 | 77 | |
11f2441f BE |
78 | \--dry-run:: |
79 | Do everything except actually send the updates. | |
80 | ||
42301e34 JH |
81 | \--tags:: |
82 | All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in | |
83 | addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command | |
84 | line. | |
85 | ||
d23842fd | 86 | \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>:: |
5214f770 UKK |
87 | Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote |
88 | end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote | |
89 | repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in | |
90 | a directory on the default $PATH. | |
91 | ||
d23842fd UKK |
92 | \--exec=<git-receive-pack>:: |
93 | Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>. | |
94 | ||
d6a73596 | 95 | -f, \--force:: |
f0fff36e | 96 | Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is |
64a476e6 | 97 | not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it. |
f0fff36e BF |
98 | This flag disables the check. This can cause the |
99 | remote repository to lose commits; use it with care. | |
7fc9d69f | 100 | |
dc36f265 JH |
101 | \--repo=<repo>:: |
102 | When no repository is specified the command defaults to | |
103 | "origin"; this overrides it. | |
104 | ||
105 | \--thin, \--no-thin:: | |
106 | These options are passed to `git-send-pack`. Thin | |
107 | transfer spends extra cycles to minimize the number of | |
108 | objects to be sent and meant to be used on slower connection. | |
109 | ||
05ee917a | 110 | -v, \--verbose:: |
dc36f265 JH |
111 | Run verbosely. |

115 | OUTPUT |
116 | ------ | |
117 | ||
118 | The output of "git push" depends on the transport method used; this | |
119 | section describes the output when pushing over the git protocol (either | |
120 | locally or via ssh). | |
121 | ||
122 | The status of the push is output in tabular form, with each line | |
123 | representing the status of a single ref. Each line is of the form: | |
124 | ||
125 | ------------------------------- | |
126 | <flag> <summary> <from> -> <to> (<reason>) | |
127 | ------------------------------- | |
128 | ||
129 | flag:: | |
130 | A single character indicating the status of the ref. This is | |
131 | blank for a successfully pushed ref, `!` for a ref that was | |
132 | rejected or failed to push, and '=' for a ref that was up to | |
133 | date and did not need pushing (note that the status of up to | |
134 | date refs is shown only when `git push` is running verbosely). | |
135 | ||
136 | summary:: | |
137 | For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new | |
138 | values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to | |
139 | `git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and | |
140 | `<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast forward updates). For a | |
141 | failed update, more details are given for the failure. | |
142 | The string `rejected` indicates that git did not try to send the | |
143 | ref at all (typically because it is not a fast forward). The | |
144 | string `remote rejected` indicates that the remote end refused | |
145 | the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the | |
146 | remote side. The string `remote failure` indicates that the | |
147 | remote end did not report the successful update of the ref | |
148 | (perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a | |
149 | break in the network connection, or other transient error). | |
150 | ||
151 | from:: | |
152 | The name of the local ref being pushed, minus its | |
153 | `refs/<type>/` prefix. In the case of deletion, the | |
154 | name of the local ref is omitted. | |
155 | ||
156 | to:: | |
157 | The name of the remote ref being updated, minus its | |
158 | `refs/<type>/` prefix. | |
159 | ||
160 | reason:: | |
161 | A human-readable explanation. In the case of successfully pushed | |
162 | refs, no explanation is needed. For a failed ref, the reason for | |
163 | failure is described. | |

165 | Examples | |
166 | -------- | |
167 | ||
168 | git push origin master:: | |
169 | Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository | |
170 | (most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update | |
171 | the same ref (e.g. `refs/heads/master`) in `origin` repository | |
491b1b11 SV |
172 | with it. If `master` did not exist remotely, it would be |
173 | created. | |
bb9fca80 JH |
174 | |
175 | git push origin :experimental:: | |
176 | Find a ref that matches `experimental` in the `origin` repository | |
177 | (e.g. `refs/heads/experimental`), and delete it. | |
178 | ||
179 | git push origin master:satellite/master:: | |
180 | Find a ref that matches `master` in the source repository | |
181 | (most likely, it would find `refs/heads/master`), and update | |
182 | the ref that matches `satellite/master` (most likely, it would | |
183 | be `refs/remotes/satellite/master`) in `origin` repository with it. | |
184 | ||
4e560158 SP |
185 | git push origin master:refs/heads/experimental:: |
186 | Create the branch `experimental` in the `origin` repository | |
491b1b11 SV |
187 | by copying the current `master` branch. This form is only |
188 | needed to create a new branch or tag in the remote repository when | |
189 | the local name and the remote name are different; otherwise, | |
190 | the ref name on its own will work. | |
