6 git-octopus - extends git-merge with branch naming patterns.
7
9 git octopus [-n|-c] [-s <n>] [-e <pattern>] [<pattern>...]
10 git octopus -v
11
13 <pattern> can be any usual refspec or a naming pattern. Patterns are
14 resolved using git ls-remote, the resulting refs are given to git
15 merge.
16
17 In case of conflicts, tries to reuse conflict resolutions stored by git
18 conflict in refs/conflicts/*. (See git-conflict(1)).
19
20 In case of a merge failure, iterates over all the refs, computing
21 merges with each ref (from HEAD) one by one for diagnosic purpose.
22 Learn more about conflict management on the project’s homepage.
23
25 -n
26 Leaves the repository back to HEAD.
27
28 -c
29 Commit the resulting merge in the current branch. This is the
30 default behavior unless -n or octopus.commit set to false. Use this
31 option to override the latter.
32
33 -s <n>
34 Chunk mode: the merge is performed by subsets of <n> branches. This
35 is meant to help reading the log graph when lots of branches are
36 merged.
37
38 -e <pattern>
39 Exclude pattern: the merge excludes branches matching the
40 <pattern>.
41
42 -v
43 Prints the version of git-octopus
44
46 · Merge check of the current branch with all feature branches and the
47 master from origin:
48
49 $ git octopus -n origin/features/* origin/master
50
51 This is basically a merge check you would do before pushing your
52 branch.
53
55 octopus.commit
56 true by default. set to false behaves like -n
57
58 octopus.pattern
59 Defines a branch naming pattern that git octopus would use by
60 default. Use multiple lines to define several patterns. See
61 git-config(1).
62
63 octopus.excludePattern
64 Defines a branch naming pattern that git octopus will exclude by
65 default.
