NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::merge - join two stack histories together

VERSION

       version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT merge [OPTIONS] STACK [INTO_STACK]

DESCRIPTION

       !! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

       This command joins the history of one stack with another.  At present, it is only capable
       of doing a "fast-forward" merge when the head of STACK is a direct descendant of the head
       of INTO_STACK.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       The first mandatory argument is the name of the stack to merge from.  The second optional
       argument is the name of the stack to merge to.  If the second argument is not specified,
       it defaults to whichever stack is currently marked as the default.  Here are some
       examples:

         pinto ... merge dev               # Merge the "dev" stack into the default stack
         pinto ... merge dev prod          # Merge the "dev" stack into the "prod" stack

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --dry-run
           Go through all the motions, but do not actually commit any changes to the repository.
           At the conclusion, a diff showing the changes that would have been made will be
           displayed.  Use this option to see how upgrades would potentially impact the stack.

       --message=TEXT
       -m TEXT
           Use TEXT as the revision history log message.  If you do not use the "--message"
           option or the "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the
           message via your text editor.  Use the "PINTO_EDITOR" or "EDITOR" or "VISUAL"
           environment variables to control which editor is used.  A log message is not required
           whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield any changes to
           the repository.

       --use-default-message
       -M  Use the default value for the revision history log message.  Pinto will generate a
           semi-informative log message just based on the command and its arguments.  If you set
           an explicit message with "--message", the "--use- default-message" option will be
           silently ignored.
