Which Git command sends local changes from every branch to the remote repository?

Question

Options

• Agit add -all
• Bgit commit -m "all"
• Cgit push origin master
• Dgit push -all

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  9% (2)
• D
  86% (19)

Explanation

git push --all (option D) is correct because the --all flag instructs Git to push every local branch to the remote repository in a single command, rather than targeting one specific branch.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. git add -all - git add stages files for a commit; it has no concept of remote repositories, and -all is not valid syntax (the correct flag is --all or -A).
• B. git commit -m "all" - git commit saves staged changes to local history only; the string "all" is just a commit message, not a special flag, and nothing is pushed remotely.
• C. git push origin master - this pushes only the master branch to the remote named origin, not every branch.

Memory tip: Think of --all as "push all branches at once." If you only name a branch (like origin master), you get just that one - drop the branch name and add --all to go wide.

Note for accuracy: In practice the correct syntax uses a double dash: git push --all. Single-dash -all is technically incorrect in real Git, but exam questions sometimes abbreviate it - map it to --all in your head.
