Forces an update of the remote branch adter rewriting the history locally.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git push -f` to force update the remote branch, overwriting it using the local branch's changes.
|
|
- This operation is necessary anytime your local and remote repository diverge.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git push -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout patch-1
|
|
git pull
|
|
git rebase master
|
|
# Local `patch-1` branch has been rebased onto `master`, thus diverging
|
|
# from the remote `patch-1` branch
|
|
|
|
git push -f # Force update the remote `patch-1` branch
|
|
```
