  10 --------
  11 'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--force] <repository> <refspec>...

  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15
  16 Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
  17 necessary to complete the given refs.
  18
  19 You can make interesting things happen to a repository
  20 every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there.  See
  21 documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].

  24 OPTIONS
  25 -------
  26 <repository>::
  27         The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
  28         operation.  See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
  29
  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 +
  36 The <src> side can be an
  37 arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
  38 argument to `git-cat-file -t`.  E.g. `master~4` (push
  39 four parents before the current master head).
  40 +
  41 The local ref that matches <src> is used
  42 to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>.  If
  43 the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
  44 even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
  45 +
  46 Some 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.
  52
  53 \--all::
  54         Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
  55         refs be pushed.
  56
  57 \--tags::
  58         All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
  59         addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
  60         line.
  61
  62 -f, \--force::
  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.
