[PATCH try2 0/8] Introduce publish tracking branch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As it has been discussed before, our support for triangular workflows is
lacking, and the following patch series aims to improve that situation.

We have the concept of upstream branch (e.g. 'origin/master') which is to where
our topic branches eventually should be merged to, so it makes sense that
'git rebase' uses that as the destination, but most people would not push to
such upstream branch, they would push to a publish branch
(e.g.  'github/feature-a'). We could set our upstream to the place we push, and
'git push' would be able to use that as default, and 'git branch --vv' would
show how ahead/behind we are in comparisson to that branch, but then 'git
rebase' (or 'git merge') would be using the wrong branch.

This patch series adds:

 1) git push --set-publish
 2) git branch --set-publish
 3) git branch -vv # uses and shows the publish branch when configured

After this, it becomes much easier to track branches in a triangular workflow.
