It is expected that most commits will be cherry-picked\ninto the master branch so that each of your long-lived local branches (on different computers) do not stray too far from the master.\n\n# Dependencies\n[tig](http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/) is used to allow easy cherry-picking from the command-line. Install via the web page or by compiling.\n\n# Installation\nAdd your git-update directory to your $PATH. For example: ```echo \"export PATH=$HOME/git-update-dir/:$PATH\"```\n\n## First run\n\nThe first time you run git-update it will prompt you for the name of the local branch. This is the branch that you will be rebasing on top\nof master. It is usually a branch that is specific to that machine, for example work-pc.\n\n# Usage\n\nTwo operations are supported, getting updates and pushing updates.\n\nFirst commit any current changes you have to your computer-specific branch. Next run:\n\n```sh\ngit update get\n```\n\nThis will get the latest changes from the master and rebase your computer-specific changes on top of them. Then run:\n\n```sh\ngit update push\n```\n\nThis will let you choose which commits on your computer-specific branch actually belong in master.\n\nWhen tig launches cherry-pick the commits you want to move from the local branch to master by using ```j/k``` to navigate to the commit and\n```C``` to cherry-pick. If a cherry-pick fails quit tig by pressing ```q``` and Ctrl-c to abort git update. Then do the cherry-pick\nmanually.\n\nTODO\n====\n* Maybe include a script to copy git-update.sh into the git-exec directory (like git flow)\n* Move the initial setup into a ```git update init``` command\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faxelson%2Fgit-update","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faxelson%2Fgit-update","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faxelson%2Fgit-update/lists"}
