git-http-push(1)
NAME
git-http-push - Push objects over HTTP/DAV to another repository
SYNOPSIS
git http-push [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]
DESCRIPTION
Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the remote branch. NOTE: This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl is older than 7.16, as the combination has been reported not to work and sometimes corrupts repository.
OPTIONS
--all
Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its current
state, and verify all objects in the entire local ref's history
exist in the remote repository.
--force
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is not an
ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it. This flag disables
the check. What this means is that the remote repository can lose
commits; use it with care.
--dry-run
Do everything except actually send the updates.
--verbose
Report the list of objects being walked locally and the list of
objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
-d, -D
Remove <ref> from remote repository. The specified branch cannot be
the remote HEAD. If -d is specified the following other conditions
must also be met:
* Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally
* Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally
* Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD
<ref>...
The remote refs to update.
SPECIFYING THE REFS
A <ref> specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair of such
patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name cannot
have a colon in it). A single pattern <name> is just a shorthand for
<name>:<name>.
Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon) and
the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be pushed is
determined by finding a match that matches the source side, and where
it is pushed is determined by using the destination side.
* It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the local
refs.
* If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
* it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the destination
literally in this case.
* <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src> locally
is used as the name of the destination.
Without '--force`, the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if <dst>
does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an ancestor) of
<src>. This check, known as "fast-forward check", is performed in order
to avoid accidentally overwriting the remote ref and lose other
peoples' commits from there.
With --force, the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus + sign to
disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.

Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
