6 stg-refresh - Generate a new commit for the current patch
7
9 stg refresh [options] [--] [<files or dirs>]
10
12 Include the latest work tree and index changes in the current patch.
13 This command generates a new git commit object for the patch; the old
14 commit is no longer visible.
15
16 Refresh will warn if the index is dirty, and require use of either the
17 --index or --force options to override this check. This is to prevent
18 accidental full refresh when only some changes were staged using git
19 add interative mode.
20
21 You may optionally list one or more files or directories relative to
22 the current working directory; if you do, only matching files will be
23 updated.
24
25 Behind the scenes, stg refresh first creates a new temporary patch with
26 your updates, and then merges that patch into the patch you asked to
27 have refreshed. If you asked to refresh a patch other than the topmost
28 patch, there can be conflicts; in that case, the temporary patch will
29 be left for you to take care of, for example with stg squash.
30
31 The creation of the temporary patch is recorded in a separate entry in
32 the patch stack log; this means that one undo step will undo the merge
33 between the other patch and the temp patch, and two undo steps will
34 additionally get rid of the temp patch.
35
37 -u, --update
38 Only update the current patch files.
39
40 -i, --index
41 Instead of setting the patch top to the current contents of the
42 worktree, set it to the current contents of the index.
43
44 -F, --force
45 Instead of warning the user when some work has already been staged
46 (such as with git add interactive mode) force a full refresh.
47
48 -p PATCH, --patch PATCH
49 Refresh (applied) PATCH instead of the top patch.
50
51 -e, --edit
52 Invoke an editor for the patch description.
53
54 -a NOTE, --annotate NOTE
55 Annotate the patch log entry.
56
57 -s, --submodules
58 Include submodules when refreshing patch contents.
59
60 --no-submodules
61 Exclude submodules when refreshing patch contents.
62
63 -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
64 Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.
65
66 -f FILE, --file FILE
67 Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If FILE
68 is "-", write to stdout.)
69
70 --no-verify
71 This option bypasses the commit-msg hook.
72
73 --sign
74 Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch.
75
76 --ack
77 Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch.
78
79 --review
80 Add a "Reviewed-by:" line to the end of the patch.
81
82 --author "NAME <EMAIL>"
83 Set the author details.
84
85 --authname NAME
86 Set the author name.
87
88 --authemail EMAIL
89 Set the author email.
90
91 --authdate DATE
