    Those are two syntaxes for the same goal.

    Except that git push --force can be used when you don’t specify any refspec (meaning you want to push your current branch to a remote matching name branch).
    It is easier than:

    git push origin +yourBranch
    

    , as mentioned in the Git Community Book.

    See “Why “git push helloworld +master:master” instead of just “git push helloworld”?” for illustration.
