git Force Push
Rebasing is a frequent task for anyone using git. We sometimes use rebasing to branch our code from the last changes or even just to drop commits from a branch.
Oftentimes when trying to push after a rebase, you'll see something like the following:
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
Commonly developers will use the --force-f flags during a push to force pushing code changes:
git push origin my-branch --force
# or
git push origin my-branch -f
I was recently surprised to find out that you could also prefix the branch name with + to force a push:
git push origin +my-branch
The + syntax is interesting but doesn't seem intuitive so it's not a practice I'd use, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't!

When moving around from page to page in your trusty browser, you get the benefit of hovering over links and viewing the link's target URL in the status bar. When it comes to page printouts, however, this obviously isn't an option. Most website printouts...
Thanks for the tip about the prefix, this is an interesting shortcut!
In most cases the
--force-with-leaseoption seems safer in case there are some additional commits as well: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#Documentation/git-push.txt—no-force-with-lease
