The “Note about fast-forwards” in the git push --help documentation provides details about how Git handles fast-forward merges during the push operation. When you try to push changes to a remote repository, Git performs a series of checks to determine if the push can be done successfully. One of these checks involves ensuring that your local branch’s commit history is compatible with the remote branch.
A fast-forward merge occurs when there are no conflicting changes between your local branch and the remote branch. In this case, Git can simply move the pointer of the remote branch forward to match your local branch’s commit, effectively integrating your changes.
The mentioned note provides more information on how fast-forwards work and potential scenarios where they might not occur. It is recommended to consult the actual git push --help documentation or refer to online resources for detailed explanations and examples regarding this topic.
