Git Push Force but with lease

If you need to run a git push --force to push a fixup or an amended commit you can try the --force-with-lease tag first for safety. It will protect you to overwrite a commit made by other dev.

alias gplease='git push --force-with-lease'

Check Git push documentation

--force-with-lease will protect all remote refs that are going to be updated by requiring their current value to be the same as the remote-tracking branch we have for them.
