RPUSH appends each element to the tail (right end) of the list stored at key, creating the list if the key does not exist. Elements keep the order you give them.

Pushing to a list wakes clients blocked on it with BLPOP and related commands.

Case RESP2 RESP3
Success Integer: the length of the list after the push Same

RPUSH replies with a WRONGTYPE error if key holds a value that is not a list.

127.0.0.1:6379> LRANGE queue 0 -1
1) "a"
2) "b"
3) "c"

Same as Redis 7.4 and Valkey 8.
