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."

Respectfully,
Jonathan Silverman
