how to make git push origin --force ; in Visual Studio Team Explorer


I recently had an issue where I had to disregard my last commit, so on the command line I did following:

git push origin --force

this works fine, however I normally make my push/pulls from inside Visual Studio Team Explorer, however I could not find out how to --force a push from there

Is it possible or can it only be done from command line?


Solution

  • You can enable --force without using command prompt in visual studio 2017 as follows Open team explorer.

    Team Explorer>Settings>Git>Global Settings

    check the enable push --force checkbox and that should do the trick like so Check box
