# 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.
