Optional preselection of the "force push" option when pushing to remote

[kielgillard]

I like to rebase and force push every now and then. I suspect Fork could optimise the number of interactions required for me to do this. What follows is a suggested solution the problem.

I think a simple keyboard shortcut could help.

If I hold the Option key with this menu visible:

Can:

• the title change to "Force push 'x' to 'y'..." and
• and the "Force push" option automatically checked for subsequent dialog:

I did notice that holding the Option key with the "Repository" menu open alternates "Push..." with "Quick Push". Perhaps this is not the best solution that reduces the number of interactions required to force push to a branch.

Use Sync (it's available on the branch dropdown on the toolbar).

It doesn't seem like it?

I checked the source code. The default branch must be named develop, main or master. Otherwise the default branch can be configured in Repository -> Settings for this repository -> General.

Ah, that's it. Thanks! I'll give this feature a whirl. Thank you again!

I think it's pretty useful. Nowadays my own workflow is mostly: Sync, Sync, Sync then Finish (merge into main). The important thing is that 'sync' is safe and excludes a user mistake. The user won't force-push a wrong thing by mistake.
