push

Purpose:

Update a mirror of this branch.

Usage:

bzr push [LOCATION]

Options:

--stacked	Create a stacked branch that references the public location of the parent branch.
--remember	Remember the specified location as a default.
--strict	Refuse to push if there are uncommitted changes in the working tree, –no-strict disables the check.
--create-prefix
	Create the path leading up to the branch if it does not already exist.
-h, --help	Show help message.
-q, --quiet	Only display errors and warnings.
--stacked-on=ARG
	Create a stacked branch that refers to another branch for the commit history. Only the work not present in the referenced branch is included in the branch created.
-d ARG, --directory=ARG
	Branch to push from, rather than the one containing the working directory.
--use-existing-dir
	By default push will fail if the target directory exists, but does not already have a control directory. This flag will allow push to proceed.
--usage	Show usage message and options.
-r ARG, --revision=ARG
	See “help revisionspec” for details.
--overwrite	Ignore differences between branches and overwrite unconditionally.
-v, --verbose	Display more information.

Description:

The target branch will not have its working tree populated because this is both expensive, and is not supported on remote file systems.

Some smart servers or protocols may put the working tree in place in the future.

This command only works on branches that have not diverged. Branches are considered diverged if the destination branch’s most recent commit is one that has not been merged (directly or indirectly) by the source branch.

If branches have diverged, you can use ‘bzr push –overwrite’ to replace the other branch completely, discarding its unmerged changes.

If you want to ensure you have the different changes in the other branch, do a merge (see bzr help merge) from the other branch, and commit that. After that you will be able to do a push without ‘–overwrite’.

If there is no default push location set, the first push will set it. After that, you can omit the location to use the default. To change the default, use –remember. The value will only be saved if the remote location can be accessed.
