githttp -push [ --all] [ --dry -run] [ --force] [ --verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref> ...]

---

---

Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the remote branch .

---

NOTE :This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl is older than 7 .16, as the combination has been reported not to work and sometimes corrupts repository .

--all Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its current state, and verify all objects in the entire local ref history exist in the remote repository .

--force Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it . This flag disables the check . What this means is that the remote repository can lose commits; use it with care .

--dry -run Do everything except actually send the updates .

--verbose Report the list of objects being walked locally and the list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository .

-d, -D Remove <ref> from remote repository . The specified branch cannot be the remote HEAD . If -d is specified the following other conditions must also be met:

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD

<ref> ... The remote refs to update .

---

A <ref> specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it) . A single pattern <name> is just a shorthand for <name>:<name> .

---

Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon) and the destination side (after the colon) . The ref to be pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the destination side .

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the local refs .

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the destination literally in this case .

---

'-04' '+03' .sp -1

2.3 <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src> locally is used as the name of the destination .

---

Without --force`, the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if <dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i .e . an ancestor) of <src> . This check, known as "fast -forward check", is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the remote ref and lose other peoples commits from there .

---

With --force ,the fast -forward check is disabled for all refs .

---

Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus + sign to disable the fast -forward check only on that ref .
