Now that we control the merge base selection, we won't be forced into rolling things in that we wanted to skip beforehand. Also, add a test to ensure this all works as intended. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-rebase - Rebase local commits to a new head
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-rebase' [--merge] [--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>]
|
|
|
|
'git-rebase' --continue | --skip | --abort
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
git-rebase replaces <branch> with a new branch of the same name. When
|
|
the --onto option is provided the new branch starts out with a HEAD equal
|
|
to <newbase>, otherwise it is equal to <upstream>. It then attempts to
|
|
create a new commit for each commit from the original <branch> that does
|
|
not exist in the <upstream> branch.
|
|
|
|
It is possible that a merge failure will prevent this process from being
|
|
completely automatic. You will have to resolve any such merge failure
|
|
and run `git rebase --continue`. Another option is to bypass the commit
|
|
that caused the merge failure with `git rebase --skip`. To restore the
|
|
original <branch> and remove the .dotest working files, use the command
|
|
`git rebase --abort` instead.
|
|
|
|
Note that if <branch> is not specified on the command line, the currently
|
|
checked out branch is used.
|
|
|
|
Assume the following history exists and the current branch is "topic":
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
A---B---C topic
|
|
/
|
|
D---E---F---G master
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
From this point, the result of either of the following commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
git-rebase master
|
|
git-rebase master topic
|
|
|
|
would be:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
A'--B'--C' topic
|
|
/
|
|
D---E---F---G master
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
While, starting from the same point, the result of either of the following
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
git-rebase --onto master~1 master
|
|
git-rebase --onto master~1 master topic
|
|
|
|
would be:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
A'--B'--C' topic
|
|
/
|
|
D---E---F---G master
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
In case of conflict, git-rebase will stop at the first problematic commit
|
|
and leave conflict markers in the tree. You can use git diff to locate
|
|
the markers (<<<<<<) and make edits to resolve the conflict. For each
|
|
file you edit, you need to tell git that the conflict has been resolved,
|
|
typically this would be done with
|
|
|
|
|
|
git update-index <filename>
|
|
|
|
|
|
After resolving the conflict manually and updating the index with the
|
|
desired resolution, you can continue the rebasing process with
|
|
|
|
|
|
git rebase --continue
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can undo the git-rebase with
|
|
|
|
|
|
git rebase --abort
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<newbase>::
|
|
Starting point at which to create the new commits. If the
|
|
--onto option is not specified, the starting point is
|
|
<upstream>.
|
|
|
|
<upstream>::
|
|
Upstream branch to compare against.
|
|
|
|
<branch>::
|
|
Working branch; defaults to HEAD.
|
|
|
|
--continue::
|
|
Restart the rebasing process after having resolved a merge conflict.
|
|
|
|
--abort::
|
|
Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.
|
|
|
|
--skip::
|
|
Restart the rebasing process by skipping the current patch.
|
|
|
|
--merge::
|
|
Use merging strategies to rebase. When the recursive (default) merge
|
|
strategy is used, this allows rebase to be aware of renames on the
|
|
upstream side.
|
|
|
|
-s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
|
|
Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
|
|
once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
|
|
If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
|
|
is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
|
|
head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise). This implies --merge.

NOTES
|
|
-----
|
|
When you rebase a branch, you are changing its history in a way that
|
|
will cause problems for anyone who already has a copy of the branch
|
|
in their repository and tries to pull updates from you. You should
|
|
understand the implications of using 'git rebase' on a repository that
|
|
you share.
|
|
|
|
When the git rebase command is run, it will first execute a "pre-rebase"
|
|
hook if one exists. You can use this hook to do sanity checks and
|
|
reject the rebase if it isn't appropriate. Please see the template
|
|
pre-rebase hook script for an example.
|
|
|
|
You must be in the top directory of your project to start (or continue)
|
|
a rebase. Upon completion, <branch> will be the current branch.
