Is it possible to git push --force in vscode?

Question

From within Visual Studio Code, is it possible to do a git push --force <repo> <branch> in some way?

Answer 1

Since 1.35 (May 2019), provided that Settings > Extensions > Git > Allow Force Push is set, the force push option is also visible in the Git menu (three dots, more actions), sub-menu "Pull, Push":

Note: You needed, with 1.35, to restart VSCode (or at least "Reload (VSCode) windows") in order to see that new option.
With more recent version of VSCode (1.65, 2022), no need to reload/restart.

See issue 62020, closed with PR 62021.

As noted by CletusW in the comments:

Note also by default this uses the safer --force-with-lease option, also configurable in Settings > Extensions > Git, toward the bottom

I detailed --force-with-lease in "git push --force-with-lease vs. --force".

It is now available after September 2018 v1.28 release. Check the release notes for more information: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_28#_push-force

EDIT: Thank @Kevin for the hint. If you can't find the option, you can change the VSCode settings as follows:
