Source tree not able to push

Question

So I make my file changes, but when I try to push them source tree complains that some one else pushed before me.The files are different,yet I am forced to merge the changes. Some times I have to backup and reset my workspace before it can allow me to push again Is there no way to force the push?

Answer 1

1. Open SourceTree Preferences
2. Tab: Advanced
3. Third checkbox: Allow force push
4. Enable the checkbox and close Preferences.

Next time you push, there will be an extra checkbox: Force push.

Checking it will also display an additional Confirm Force Push dialog box before the force push is actually performed.
