I'm trying to understand the difference between push and offset in Bootstrap grids. For example the only difference between the two rows below is the third column in each. One uses a push and the other uses an offset. However, they both render exactly the same.
<div class="row"> <div class="col-md-2"> <h2>Column 1</h2> <p> This is text for column 1 </p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301865">Learn more »</a></p> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <h2>Column 2</h2> <p>This is text for column 2</p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301866">Learn more »</a></p> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-push-6"> <h2>Column 3</h2> <p>This is text for column 3</p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301867">Learn more »</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-2"> <h2>Column 1</h2> <p> This is text for column 1 </p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301865">Learn more »</a></p> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <h2>Column 2</h2> <p>This is text for column 2</p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301866">Learn more »</a></p> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-6"> <h2>Column 3</h2> <p>This is text for column 3</p> <p><a class="btn btn-default" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301867">Learn more »</a></p> </div> </div>

An offset is used to push columns over for more spacing. To use offsets on large displays, use the . col-md-offset-* classes.
Bootstrap's grid system uses a series of containers, rows, and columns to layout and align content. It's built with flexbox and is fully responsive. Below is an example and an in-depth look at how the grid comes together.
Grid Classes The Bootstrap 4 grid system has five classes: . col- (extra small devices - screen width less than 576px)
The Bootstrap 3 grid system has four tiers of classes: xs (phones), sm (tablets), md (desktops), and lg (larger desktops). You can use nearly any combination of these classes to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.
Since offset uses margin-left, and push uses left:

In your example there are no column 'collisions'. Push and offset appear the same since the neighbouring columns aren't impacted.
