| 9 SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 -------- | |
| 11 [verse] | |
| 12 'git rebase-update' [-v | --verbose] [-n | --no_fetch] | |
| 13 | |
| 14 DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 ----------- | |
| 16 | |
| 17 Brings all branches up-to-date with their tracking branches. This involves | |
| 18 several phases: | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Preparation:: | |
| 21 If you currently have a branch checked out, any changes on that branch are | |
| 22 'frozen' (See linkgit:git-freeze[1] for more detail). Additionally, the curren
t | |
| 23 branch is recorded for the 'Restoration' phase later (see 'CONFIGURATION | |
| 24 VARIABLES' for details on `depot-tools.rebase-update.starting-branch`). | |
| 25 | |
| 26 Fetching:: | |
| 27 All branches are examined to find their upstream references. The correct set | |
| 28 of git remotes is determined, and fetched accordingly. Note that if any | |
| 29 branches have a tag as their upstream, we are forced to pull all remotes. | |
| 30 + | |
| 31 Pass `--no_fetch` to skip this phase. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Rebasing:: | |
| 34 All branches are rebased in topological order from roots (upstreams) to | |
| 35 leaves. Each branch is rebased from its marked merge-base (see 'CONFIGURATION | |
| 36 VARIABLES') to the branch tip on top of its parent branch. If the parent | |
| 37 branch is 'frozen' (see linkgit:git-freeze[1]), the branch will be rebased | |
| 38 onto the last non-freeze commit on the parent branch. | |
| 39 + | |
| 40 Things get interesting when there are merge conflicts on rebase. The *most | |
| 41 common* cause for conflicts is when your branch has been committed to the | |
| 42 upstream in squashed form, ala linkgit:git-squash-branch[1], which is what | |
| 43 linkgit:git-cl[1] and the 'Commit Queue' will do. Because of that, `git | |
| 44 rebase-update` will attempt to squash your conflicted branch to see if the | |
| 45 squashed version applies cleanly to its upstream. | |
| 46 + | |
| 47 If it does not apply cleanly, then your original (non-squashed) branch will be | |
| 48 left in mid-rebase and `git rebase-update` will exit. You can deal with this | |
| 49 like any other conflicted rebase. When you're done, just `git rebase-update` | |
| 50 again to pick up where you left off. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Cleanup:: | |
| 53 Once all the branches have been rebased, any empty branches (i.e. branches | |
| 54 with no commits on them) are removed. If a branch is removed in this fashion, | |
| 55 any branches which depend on it are reparented to the parent of the removed | |
| 56 branch (see linkgit:git-reparent-branch[1]). | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Restoration:: | |
| 59 `git rebase-update` checks out the branch that you started on, and 'thaws' it, | |
| 60 if necessary (see linkgit:git-thaw[1]). If the branch you started on got | |
| 61 cleaned up, `git rebase-update` will checkout the 'root' ref (defaults to | |
| 62 'origin/master', as configured by `depot-tools.upstream`, see | |
| 63 linkgit:git-new-branch[1]). | |
| 64 | |
| 65 | |
| 66 OPTIONS | |
| 67 ------- | |
| 68 | |
| 69 -n:: | |
| 70 --no_fetch:: | |
| 71 Skip the `git fetch` phase of rebase-update. | |
| 72 | |
| 73 -v:: | |
| 74 --verbose:: | |
| 75 More text than your terminal can handle. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 | |
| 78 CONFIGURATION VARIABLES | |
| 79 ----------------------- | |
| 80 | |
| 81 depot-tools.rebase-update.starting-branch | |
| 82 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 83 | |
| 84 When `git rebase-update` first runs, it will record the current branch here so | |
| 85 that when it completes successfully, it will return back to the same branch you | |
| 86 started on, even if `git rebase-update` is interrupted due to rebase conflicts. | |
| 87 When `git rebase-update` completes successfully, this configuration variable is | |
| 88 removed. | |
| 89 | |
| 90 branch.<name>.dormant | |
| 91 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 92 | |
| 93 If `true`, will cause rebase-update to skip all processing on the branch. | |
| 94 Useful for old/high-conflict branches which you want to keep for posterity, but | |
| 95 don't want to deal with when running `git rebase-update` | |
| 96 | |
| 97 branch.<name>.base | |
| 98 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 99 | |
| 100 Holds the 'base' reference for this branch. By default this is equivalent to | |
| 101 `git merge-base <name> <name>@{upstream}`. However, it can diverge if | |
| 102 `<name>@{upstream}` is manually rebased. In this case, it correctly preserves | |
| 103 the value it had before, where `git merge-base` would now report the wrong | |
| 104 value. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 All of the tools in the linkgit:depot_tools[1] suite collude to keep this value | |
| 107 as up-to-date as possible, including linkgit:git-reparent-branch[1], and | |
| 108 linkgit:git-new-branch[1]. linkgit:git-map[1] also shows the location of these | |
| 109 marker values in [black-background white]**white**. | |
| 110 | |
| 111 linkgit:git-mark-merge-base[1] allows easy manual interaction for this value, | |
| 112 in the unlikely event that it gets out of sync. | |
