Hello Everyone: I'm considering writing a patch that adds a configuration variable that will allow the user to default the command:
git push --force to: git push --force-with-lease As discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30542491/push-force-with-lease-by-default Now, I understand that there are downsides to having this enabled, namely that a user who has this enabled might forget that they have it enabled, and, as such, on a machine that _doesn't_ have it enabled (of which they are unfamiliar) might then run the more consequential command "git push --force", but my thinking is that adding this as a feature to the git codebase as an _optional_ (i.e. not enabled by default) configuration variable would then save some of us who use a "rebase-then-force-push for pull request" workflow some time and headaches. Of course, I don't want to submit a patch if this is a feature that isn't likely to be accepted, so I wanted to get some thoughts from the mailing list regarding this idea. Thank you, ~Scott Johnson
