Git Force Push

Definitions

1. A force push in Git, often spoken about with a tone that ranges from routine to taboo depending on the branch and the culture. In engineering slang, force-pushing shared history is one of the classic ways to start unnecessary drama.

   In plain English: Using Git to overwrite remote history, often dangerously on shared branches.

   Example: "The junior engineer learned fast why 'never git force push main' was repeated like a campfire law instead of a casual suggestion."
