+# Shorthand To Force Push A Branch
+
+If your local version of a branch differs in its history from the matching
+remote branch, then git will prevent you from pushing. You can override the
+difference on the remote by force pushing. One way of doing that is with the
+`--force` flag.
+
+```bash
+$ git push --force origin main
+```
+
+There is a shorthand for this. [Prefix the branch name with a
+`+`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#Documentation/git-push.txt---force).
+
+```bash
+$ git push origin +main
+```
+
+When working in a team context, it is typically a safer bet to use
+`--force-with-lease` instead of force. That way if the remote contains new
+changes that you haven't pulled down yet, you will prevent yourself from
+accidentally overriding them.
+
+If you feel you must use `--force`, double check what will happen. Avoid
+accidentally clobbering work that could be hard or impossible to recover.
