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.
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?
