small merge tool for temporary merges

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

 



Hi at all,

I'd like to announce the exisntance of my small git test merge tool.

After reading 
 Linux kernel mailing list may remember that Linus complained about such
 too frequent test merges when a subsystem maintainer asked to pull from
 a branch full of "useless merges"
in the man page of git-rerere I had to start it..

$ git clone git://mawercer.de/git-test-merge

=============  =======================================================
small HOWTO:

$ alias gtm=git-test-merge

$ gtm h # show the help
$ gtm s mytestmerge branch{1,2} # define testmerge "mytestmerge" which is formed by merging branch1 and branch2
$ gtm u mytestmerge # merge first using octopus, if it fails merge with
                    # the previous merge result with next branch until
                    # no branches are left to merge

If the merge fails you can resolve the conflicts and run
$ gtm c # you don't have to git-add the resolved files, will be done by the script

I hope its useful for you as well. If you have patches you may push them
instantly.
If it's obsolete because there is a better tool I appreciat you pointing
me to it

Sincerly
Marc Weber
