Each line is of the form: + +------------------------------- + <flag> <summary> <from> -> <to> (<reason>) +------------------------------- + +flag:: + A single character indicating the status of the ref. This is + blank for a successfully pushed ref, `!` for a ref that was + rejected or failed to push, and '=' for a ref that was up to + date and did not need pushing (note that the status of up to + date refs is shown only when `git push` is running verbosely). + +summary:: + For a successfully pushed ref, the summary shows the old and new + values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to + `git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and + `<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast forward updates). For a + failed update, more details are given for the failure. + The string `rejected` indicates that git did not try to send the + ref at all (typically because it is not a fast forward). The + string `remote rejected` indicates that the remote end refused + the update; this rejection is typically caused by a hook on the + remote side. The string `remote failure` indicates that the + remote end did not report the successful update of the ref + (perhaps because of a temporary error on the remote side, a + break in the network connection, or other transient error). + +from:: + The name of the local ref being pushed, minus its + `refs/<type>/` prefix.

In the case of successfully pushed + refs, no explanation is needed. For a failed ref, the reason for + failure is described. Examples -------- |
