20953	git push -f in docs needs a stern warning	Daniele Procida	nobody	"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/working-with-git/#rebasing-branches:

{{{
git push -f origin ticket_xxxxx
}}}

This should be accompanied by a note saying something like: 

'''Never''' use `push -f` without specifying a remote, otherwise you may be force-pushing changes to one or more unexpected remotes without even realising it. If you force-push to the wrong remote, you ''will'' be sorry.

Ways of avoiding accidents with `push -f` include:

* thinking twice and three times before using `push -f`
* never using `push -f`, and instead:
    * deleting the branch on GitHub and pushing again, or:
    * creating a new local branch with `git checkout -b <new-branch-name> and pushing that
* using a password (Git with HTTPS) rather than your key (Git with SSH) for your remotes' URLs

(perhaps there are some more elegant solutions)."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	wontfix			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
