Pushout of groups ($G_1{\ast }_H{G}_2$)

For homomorphisms $i_j:H\to G_j$, the pushout of groups is $(G_1\ast G_2)/⟨⟨i_1(h)i_2(h{)}^{-1}:h\in H⟩⟩$. It has the universal property for homomorphisms out of $G_1,G_2$ agreeing on $H$. When the maps $i_j$ are injective, it is the amalgamated free product, with the factors and common subgroup embedded.
