[PATCH] Teach 'git pull' the '--rebase' option

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

 



When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + pull.

This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted.

fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
project, such as Wine -- or Git.

For your convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool.  This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.
