push to remote repo after local hard reset

Question

Hi,

when I do a local hard reset to some previous commit and try to push to remote repo I get a "remote repo is ahead" (along those lines) error message.

Found this related thread at stackoverflow

What I currently do from command line is what's mentioned there as answer:

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
git clean -f

Can I also do this directly from within SourceTree ?

I see a button for fetching, is functionality for reset and clean also build in ?

Just curious, as this would make the process a little quicker than switching to command line.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try next time I need to do this and report back.

Talking of force-push, there actually is a "Force" tickbox in SourceTree's Push dialog, but it's always grayed out here. Any idea why ?

That's an odd series of commands.  You should be able to just do a

push -f

I don't think you can do it within SourceTree, though - at least, not without setting up a Custom Action, which I haven't played with much
