git town up
git town up [-m | --merge] [-v | --verbose]The up command moves one position up in the current stack by switching to a child of the current branch. After successfully switching branches, it displays the branch hierarchy to show your new position in the stack.
When the current branch has multiple children, an interactive dialog lets you choose which child branch to switch to.
git town up is useful for navigating stacked changes without needing to
remember branch names or use the interactive switch command.
Examples
Consider this stack:
main
\
* branch-1
\
branch-2
After running git town up on the branch-1 branch, you end up with this
stack:
main
\
branch-1
\
* branch-2
Options
-m
--merge
The --merge aka -m flag has the same effect as the
git checkout -m
flag. It attempts to merge uncommitted changes in your workspace into the target
branch.
This is useful when you have uncommitted changes in your current branch and want to move them up to a child branch.
-v
--verbose
The --verbose aka -v flag prints all Git commands run under the hood to
determine the repository state.
