NAME

6       stg-publish - (DEPRECATED) Push the stack changes to a merge-friendly
7       branch
8

SYNOPSIS

10       stg publish [options] [--] [branch]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       DEPRECATED: The stg publish command will be removed in a future version
14       of StGit.
15
16       This command commits a set of changes on a separate (called public)
17       branch based on the modifications of the given or current stack. The
18       history of the public branch is not re-written, making it
19       merge-friendly and feasible for publishing. The heads of the stack and
20       public branch may be different but the corresponding tree objects are
21       always the same.
22
23       If the trees of the stack and public branch are different (otherwise
24       the command has no effect), StGit first checks for a rebase of the
25       stack since the last publishing. If a rebase is detected, StGit creates
26       a commit on the public branch corresponding to a merge between the new
27       stack base and the latest public head.
28
29       If no rebasing was detected, StGit checks for new patches that may have
30       been created on top of the stack since the last publishing. If new
31       patches are found and are not empty, they are checked into the public
32       branch keeping the same commit information (e.g. log message, author,
33       committer, date).
34
35       If the above tests fail (e.g. patches modified or removed), StGit
36       creates a new commit on the public branch having the same tree as the
37       stack but the public head as its parent. The editor will be invoked if
38       no "--message" option is given.
39
40       It is recommended that stack modifications falling in different
41       categories as described above are separated by a publish command in
42       order to keep the public branch history cleaner (otherwise StGit would
43       generate a big commit including several stack modifications).
44
45       The --unpublished option can be used to check if there are applied
46       patches that have not been published to the public branch. This is done
47       by trying to revert the patches in the public tree (similar to the push
48       --merged detection). The --last option tries to find the last published
49       patch by checking the SHA1 of the patch tree agains the public tree.
50       This may fail if the stack was rebased since the last publish command.
51
52       The public branch name can be set via the branch.<branch>.public
53       configuration variable (defaulting to "<branch>.public").
54
