Subject: Adding --force-if-newer flag to git push
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2022 16:58:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <491oWe6HDMJXQK2Ru2VbzFrlUajNlVhnIErZZ1dxUaPpCElsgpASAEQFc2Zi1R4G53hAIMHopETEJn7E_TzeeC6uOzGBffQDRK2AWYPIxKQ=@protonmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Would it be a good idea to add a new flag  --force-if-newer to the "git push" command, so that force-pushing would succeed only if the last local commit's date is newer than that on the remote branch?

Sometimes I find that a feature like this would be useful when I work on multiple different computers and I want to just push all local branches to the repo at once to sync it with whatever is the latest version. I know that using --force is kind of frowned upon in the Git community, so this is probably not the best idea because it would promote usage of this feature among the users. I just wanted to know your opinions and see if someone else would find it useul or it's just a dumb idea.

Thanks.
