git push
is used to upload local repository commits/changes to a remote repository. This is how you transfer commits from your local repository to a remote repo. It’s the counterpart to git pull
or git fetch.
Pushing has the potential to overwrite changes so you have to be careful when pushing.
// push local commits/changes to remote git push // force the push even if it results in a non-fast-forward merge. Do not use the --force flag unless you’re absolutely sure you know what you’re doing. git push --force
