Will git let me push my changes to every member of the team?

I find a big problem with CVS & SVN is that I have to explicitly update my code in order to keep in sync. This is a real pain-point as I often have to do it several times a day and it can be very slow. We still regularly get problems caused by developers being out of sync. Most people become reluctant to do an update at all as they fear it will cause errors.

Clearcase has a great solution to this, "dynamic views". Whenever I check in some code, the whole team magically get's my changes straight away. Normally, they don't even notice, they're just forced to stay in sync. This drastically reduces the number of 'code conflicts' where people make changes to 'stale' files. This enforces the practise of "catching errors early". It also keeps developers "honest" as they have to keep the quality of their checkins high lest they get shouted at by the rest of the team.

Will git let a team stay in sync without everyone having to do manual updates? Basically, I want every developer to be able to push their code to the whole team.
