Sometimes you may want to force push-but only if no one else has contributed to the branch. ( Note: you can use -f as a shorthand instead of -force.)Ī force push is a destructive action-only use it when you're certain it's what you want to do. + edb64e2.52f54da my-feature -> my-feature (forced update) You could do a git pull here to merge the differences, but if you really want to overwrite the remote repository you can add the -force flag to your push: (my-feature)$ git push -force origin my-feature Hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push -help' for details. ! my-feature -> my-feature (non-fast-forward)Įrror: failed to push some refs to Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind This means that if you try to push a branch that has been rebased locally-but not on the remote-the remote repository will recognize that the commit history has changed, and it will prevent you from pushing until you settle up the differences: (my-feature)$ git push It's very important to understand that even though the branch looks the same, it's composed of entirely new commits. The second and more common scenario is after an action like a rebase-which changes the commit history: Internally, Git accomplishes by creating new commits and applying them to the specified base.
The first reason is to fix a mistake-although it is probably better to just make a new commit reverting the changes.
There are a couple reasons you may want to do this. Normally, you will push to a branch and add to its commit history.īut, there are times when you need to forcefully overwrite the history of a branch.

The general form of the command is this: $ git push īy default, Git chooses origin for the remote and your current branch as the branch to push. If you run the simple command git push, Git will by default choose two more parameters for you: the remote repository to push to and the branch to push. This command has a variety of options and parameters you can pass to it, and in this article you'll learn the ones that you will use the most often. The basic command for pushing a local branch to a remote repository is git push.
