git prepend <branch>
The prepend command creates a new feature branch as the parent of the current branch. It does that by inserting the new feature branch between the current feature branch and it's old parent. Before it does that, it syncs the current feature branch to ensure commits into the new branch are on top of the current state of the repository.
Example
Consider this branch setup:
main
\
feature-2
We are on the feature-2
branch. After running git prepend feature-1
, our
repository has this branch setup:
main
\
feature-1
\
feature-2
Variations
If the push-new-branches is set, git hack
creates a remote tracking branch for the new feature branch. This behavior is
disabled by default to make git hack
run fast. The first run of git sync
will create the remote tracking branch.
