Even better is: --force-with-lease -- similar to force but will not allow pushing when the remote branch changed since last fetch.
That way you won't lose someone else's commits accidentally.

If you're pushing an update to a branch (i.e. a different commit onto the the same branch name) you'll need to force-push. You can do that via "push -f" or by prepending a "+" to the branch name:
$ git push -f downstream HEAD
# ...or...
$ git push downstream +HEAD

I tried to pull upstream into my master and then rebase on top of that so I have the newest changes, and it will say I am 1 commit ahead of upstream and no commits behind but whenever I try to push it still has this issue. I even tried resetting all of my changes and starting from where I was 5 days ago and I was able to push it correctly to see if it was my new changes, but that also doesn't work.
