You are free to live dangerously, but please do not teach that to other
people.
Switching between two machines A and B is done a lot more safely if you
arrange them to cross pull from each other, i.e. on machine A, remotes/B/*
is where you keep copies of branches of B to with either of these
machineA$ git fetch B refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/B/*
machineB$ git push A refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/B/*
(the latter is to emulate the former "fetch" you wish to run on A to get
data from B in the reverse direction), and similarly on machine B, you use
remotes/A/* to keep copies of branches of A.
That way, the risk of losing your work because the "usually" in your "then
usually I want to force" turns out to be untrue is greatly reduced.
