NAME

       guilt - quilt on top of git

SYNOPSIS

       guilt COMMAND [ARGS]

DESCRIPTION

       Andrew Morton originally developed a set of scripts for maintaining kernel patches outside
       of any SCM tool. Others extended these into a suite called quilt. The basic idea behind
       quilt is to maintain patches instead of maintaining source files. Patches can be added,
       removed or reordered, and they can be refreshed as you fix bugs or update to a new base
       revision. quilt is very powerful, but it is not integrated with the underlying SCM tools.
       This makes it difficult to visualize your changes.

       Guilt allows one to use quilt functionality on top of a Git repository. Changes are
       maintained as patches which are committed into Git. Commits can be removed or reordered,
       and the underlying patch can be refreshed based on changes made in the working directory.
       The patch directory can also be placed under revision control, so you can have a separate
       history of changes made to your patches.

PATCHES DIRECTORY

       In Guilt, all the patches are stored in .git/patches/$branch/, where $branch is the name
       of the branch being worked on. This means that one can have a independent series of
       patches for each branch present in the repository. Each of these per-branch directories
       contains 3 special files:

       guards: This file contains any guards that should be applied to the series when pushing.
       It is only present when guards are selected.

       series: This file contains a list of all the patch filenames relative to the per-branch
       patch directory. Empty and commented out lines are ignored.

       status: This file contains the state of the stack. What patches are applied.

HOOKS

       Any guilt operation may execute zero or more hook scripts which can be used to run any
       housekeeping commands or even abort the execution of the command.

HOOKS DIRECTORY

       Guilt follows the same basic design of hooks in Git itself. All Guilt hooks are executable
       files (generally shell scripts, but they can be anything the operating system can execute)
       in .git/hooks/guilt/.

       The following hooks are supported:

       delete <patch name>
           Executed when a patch is deleted from the patch series via guilt-delete(1).
