git push

Updates remote refs along with associated objects.

Syntax

git push [<options>] [<remote>] [<refspec>...]

Options

-u / --set-upstream: Sets the upstream tracking reference for the branch
--force / -f: Forces the push, overwriting remote history
--force-with-lease: Safer force push that fails if the remote has new commits
--tags: Pushes all tags to the remote
--delete: Deletes a remote branch
--all: Pushes all branches
--dry-run: Shows what would be pushed without actually pushing

Example

git push origin main
git push -u origin feature/login
git push --tags
git push origin --delete old-branch

Tip

Prefer --force-with-lease over --force to avoid accidentally overwriting others' work.
