force-push-downstream

To force push a Git branch and its downstream dependents, this Skill automates detection of the entire branch hierarchy and applies updates to the origin remote in a single operation. It provides a summary of actions taken.

The safest way to force push rebased branches is using the `--force-with-lease` mechanism. This Skill applies that mechanism automatically across your entire downstream dependency tree to prevent overwriting remote changes unexpectedly.

You can update multiple diverged Git branches by running this Skill to intelligently detect the downstream chain, check for divergence against remote branches, and automatically force-push all necessary updates without manual intervention for each branch.

Yes, automated branch pushing includes safety checks that skip branches already up-to-date with their remote counterparts. It only applies force-pushing mechanisms to new branches and existing diverged branches that require synchronization.

Use a downstream dependency tree push when you rebase a base branch that multiple other branches depend on. It ensures all dependent branches are correctly updated on the remote simultaneously, preventing manual errors and maintaining hierarchy consistency.

When a downstream branch has diverged from the remote, the Skill detects the divergence and applies safe force-pushing mechanisms using `--force-with-lease` to update the branch. It handles both new branches and existing diverged branches automatically.
