How do I force a subtree push to overwrite remote changes?

Question

We use a subtree deployment a lá this Gist to deploy a subdirectory of our Yeoman project. In our case, the branch is called production, not gh-pages.

Answer 1

I've just enhanced the answer of ele adding generic expressions <> to make it more clear:

git push  `git subtree split --prefix  `: --force

Example values

origin
other-origin-name
https://github.com/full-url/of-repo

Local folder relative to repo root (execute this command in root), e.g.: /dist

master
any-other-branchname
