- Force push uses `--force-with-lease` for safety

**Status Messages**:
- `pushed` - Changes pushed to remote
- `pushed` - Current branch pushed to remote
- `pushed-all` - All branches pushed to remote
- `current` - Nothing to push, already up to date
- `behind` - Repository behind remote, pull first
- `diverged` - Needs --force or manual merge
- `dirty` - Has uncommitted changes
- `detached` - In detached HEAD state

## Environment Variables

- `MT_PULL_FILE` - Override repos file name (disables auto-discovery)
- `MT_GIT_PUSH_ALL` - Set to `true` to push all branches by default

## See Also

- `mt git pull` - Fetch and pull repositories
