 - If collaborating with someone else on the same branch, please use `--force-with-lease` instead of `--force` when pushing up code. This will prevent you from accidentally overwriting commits pushed by someone else. For more information, see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push#git-push---force-with-leaseltrefnamegt
