Option to disable force push confirmation popup

[ilan-schemoul]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In gitlab you work in your own branch, you cannot push in main (never seen a project where main/master is not protected), so force push is the normal flow (as you force push to your own branch and do a merge request).
I very often forget to press enter for the force push confirmation prompt, which makes the pipeline not triggered, not getting review etc. (a big lose of time)

Describe the solution you'd like

Option to disable force push confirmation prompt.
Ideally the option takes a condition (so I can check if I am in gitlab or not).
The condition can be maybe something like "repository: [gitlab, gtihub]" (if upstream match one or the other then the condition is true) or it can be a simple shell command (more tedious but more flexible and easier to implement).
But I think a simple boolean (true/false) would work too.

To be clear if condition is true (or evaluated to be true if you write a condition), there is no confirmation prompt, it just always force push --force-with-lease (also maybe force vs force-with-lease is configurable)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Making the prompt more obvious, my eyes look at the branch on the left and something appear on the center (on external monitor I can miss it) and has nothing (no color/shape) to catch my eyes.

Additional context

I volunteer to implement it if I have the greenlight (if it's not too hard to implement. So I would prefer implementing the simple true/false option if it's easier for example).

Yeah I did:
Overriding P or creating custom command is not great because the UI is not the same (not "pushing ..." in the branch section) and worst of all it doesn't prompt when you have no remote set. If you do normal P it allows you to select the remote if none is set.

Option to disable force push confirmation prompt.

This is funny; most people request to make it harder to force-push, not easier (e.g. #4649, #2683, #2009, #3300). This is the first time someone requests to get rid of that prompt (although there's also #4077 which is similar).

Which makes me think that if we want to add a config for this, it should be something along the lines of forcePushConfirmation: none | single | double.

Ideally the option takes a condition (so I can check if I am in gitlab or not).

You don't need that; you can create a config file just for one repo, or for a folder of repos; this overrides the global one for just the options that it defines. See Config.md for details.

This seems to be a more general problem then. Doesn't the same apply to all confirmation prompts that somehow relate to a side panel action? (E.g. dropping a commit.) I don't use a huge monitor so I don't have that problem.

Thanks, but no. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Yup that probably fix everyone problems.

I thought about the issue after posting it and I came to the conclusion that the combination of wide screen (so I don't see the popup) AND the fact the popup is sometime, there sometimes not (if no need to force) and sometimes it does the popup for picking a remote makes so I cannot have muscle memory for pushing.

Thanks, but no. See CONTRIBUTING.md

Oh reverse psychology makes me wanna contribute now but alright
