git push

# First push of a new branch — set upstream
git push -u origin feat/checkout

# Subsequent pushes — just 'git push'
git push

# After a rebase, your local history diverges from upstream.
# NEVER --force; ALWAYS --force-with-lease.
git push --force-with-lease
#  → refuses if someone else pushed since your last fetch.
#    Protects collaborators from silent overwrites.

# Push a single tag
git push origin v1.4.0
# Push all tags (use sparingly)
git push --tags

# Delete a remote branch
git push origin --delete feat/checkout
# Or with shorter syntax
git push origin :feat/checkout

# Push to a different remote / branch name
git push upstream main:release

# Useful settings
git config --global push.default       current     # push current branch to same-named remote branch
git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true       # auto -u on first push

# Protected branches — push to main is blocked, must go via PR
# Set this up in your hosting provider (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea).

# Pre-push hooks — run tests, lint, secret scanner before allowing push
# .git/hooks/pre-push  (or in husky / lefthook config)
#   npm test && npm run lint

git push origin main
git push -u origin feature  # set upstream
git push --force-with-lease # safer than --force
