Hi, Are "git push" and "git pull" based on force push and force pull from Star Wars? See: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telekinesis Also, is the --force option another reference to The Force? The similarity seems striking, especially when you realize that when you google "force push" you get Star Wars *and* Git related links. To me, Git usage represents one facet of being a Jedi and allows greater control of The Force present in your code and the internet. Upon meeting a fellow Git user, it is always immediately obvious that "The Force is strong within this one."
