title: What Git '--progress' flag is for and how to use it
body: <p>Today I have noticed in my IDE (IntelliJ) that when I do 'commit and push' from the IDE level I can see in the version control output tab that IntelliJ is using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git push --progress origin storyBranchA:storyBranchA
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wonder how I can use that 'progress' flag outside of my IDE, is there any nice usage explained somewhere as I cannot find anything about that flag, and why the IDE is actually specifying the branch to commit to as <code>storyBranchA:storyBranchA</code> and not simply</p>
  
  <pre><code>git push --progress origin storyBranchA
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Regards
