git push --force

git push --force overwrites the remote branch's history with the local branch's history, even if they've diverged. This is necessary after rewriting local commits, like through a rebase, since a normal push would be rejected due to mismatched history. Because it can overwrite others' work on a shared branch, git push --force-with-lease is often recommended instead, since it fails if the remote has changes the local branch doesn't know about.
