A good thing to do before pushing is to actually see the commit graph,
in gitk or gitg or gitx or in a pinch “git log --graph --decorate
--oneline”, with both the current local and remote branches displayed.
And always be explicit about what you are pushing — always “git push
origin master”, never “git push”. (“git config push.default simple”
helps but is not everybody’s default.)
