Remote branch ahead of local branch; can't push

Question

I'm trying to push to heroku, but I recently dropped back a few commits as the production and local code were both flawed. Now I'm getting the error:

Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (eg 'git pull') before pushing again.

I don't want to pull from the remote, but rather push the code I have locally.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

I'm an idiot. I went back and read the next line.

If it helps anyone in the future, the answer is to use --force:

git push heroku master -f
