Force with lease will send up what your local thinks the most recent commit on the branch was and the host will reject the push if it knows of a more recent commit on that branch. Basically, it saves you from overwriting a commit you didn’t realize existed.
Gotta review the 5 line PR ten times just to make absolutely totally sure there’s nothing wrong with it before submitting it.
And then notice the spelling error.
My spelling errors only come into existence after I commit.
Just another free PR ;)
Instant commit --amend + push --force
Prefer
--force-with-lease. It doesn’t make a difference in this scenario, but it’s a safer habit/default.There is no reason to force push anymore - force with lease is always preferable. So said, a frequent rebaser.
Wait what is the difference between the two?
