All commands with "push"

Upload local changes to the central repository

Push commits made on your local branch to a remote repository.

git push

Upload a branch to a remote repository

Pushes the specified branch to remote with necessary commits creating a local branch in the destination repository.

git push [remote] [branch]

Renaming branches

This pushes the LOCALBRANCHNAME to your REMOTENAME, but it is renamed to REMOTEBRANCHNAME.

git push [REMOTENAME] [LOCALBRANCHNAME]:[REMOTEBRANCHNAME]

Force Upload

Forces the push even if it results in a non-fast-forward merge. Be sure that nobody has pulled the commits before using the --force option.

git push [remote] --force

Upload all

Pushes all of the local branches to the remote repository.

git push [remote] --all

Upload single tags

Pushes the spesific tags from the local branches to the remote repository.

git push [REMOTENAME] [TAGNAME]

Upload all tags

Pushes all tags from the local branches to the remote repository.

git push [remote] --tags

Deleting a remote branch or tag

Note that there is a space before the colon. The command resembles the same steps you'd take to rename a branch. However, here, you're telling Git to push nothing into BRANCHNAME on REMOTENAME. Because of this, git push deletes the branch on the remote repository.

git push [REMOTENAME] :[BRANCHNAME]
