man git-push?

    Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all refs under
    $GIT_DIR/refs/ (which includes but is not limited to refs/heads/,
    refs/remotes/, and refs/tags/) be mirrored to the remote
    repository. Newly created local refs will be pushed to the remote
    end, locally updated refs will be force updated on the remote end,
    and deleted refs will be removed from the remote end. This is the
    default if the configuration option remote.<remote>.mirror is set.
