The encouragement is familiar. The two hyphens change the risk profile. For developers who can hear a grand blessing and still notice the command-line syntax.
Clean front. Loud back. A small REGEX wordmark sits on the chest, with the main line across the back. One ink per garment. Comes in Black with white ink or White with black ink.
The joke, explained
The line adapts a familiar cinematic blessing by writing force as a command-line option. In many tools, a force option bypasses a normal check or restriction, with details depending on the tool. That typography turns a reassuring wish into a joke about a potentially forceful technical operation.
For the developer who notices flags in movie dialogue.

Questions
What are the two hyphens doing before force?
They make force look like a long command-line option. That small change turns the familiar good wish into developer wordplay about an operation that may bypass normal safeguards.
Is this a command for a particular developer tool?
No specific tool is named. The humor relies on recognizing the common flag-like shape and the implications of force, while leaving the actual command and its behavior unspecified.
