useHistory().push() or direct <Link>

[akramnarejo]

How it is different to use useHistory().push('/') method? when we can do the same by providing the <Link to='/' /> directly.

Links are for links the user click on. push is for when the navigation needs to happen programmatically. It could for example be used to redirect a user to a login-form if they need to authenticate, or when a user successfully posts a new blog post to automatically redirect the user to that blog-post, or back to the list of blog posts, or something like that.
