Usage:
# rebase mybranch and all its children onto origin/master
git rebase-all origin/master mybranch
# if you need to resolve a conflict, resolve it and run
git rebase-all --continue # (or --skip, or --abort: these flags will be passed through to the underlying `git rebase`)
git-rebase-all
is my solution to
this StackOverflow
question, pasted here for convenience.
In my day-to-day git workflow, I have many topic branches, like so:
o--o--o (t2) / o--o (t1) / o--o--o (master) \ o--o--o (t3)
When I pull from upstream,
o--o--o (t2) / o--o (t1) / o--o--o--n--n--n (master) \ o--o--o (t3)
I want to rebase all my topic branches on top of the new master:
o'--o'--o' (t2) / o'--o' (t1) / o--o--o--n--n--n (master) \ o'--o'--o' (t3)
Currently I do this by hand, using git rebase --onto
. In this scenario, the whole update process would be:
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ git rebase master t1
$ git rebase --onto t1 t2~3 t2
$ git rebase master t3
This gets even hairier when jumping between various topic branches and adding commits.
Dependencies between topic branches in my case are purely tree-like: no branch depends on more than a single other branch. (I have to eventually upstream dependent patches in some particular order, so I choose that order a priori.)
Are there any tools that can help me manage this workflow? I've seen TopGit, but it seems to be tied quite heavily to the tg patch
email-based workflow, which isn't relevant to me.
