NAME

       git-reintegrate - Manage integration branches in Git

SYNOPSIS

       git reintegrate --create <name> [<base>]
       git-reintegrate --generate <name> [<base>]
       git-reintegrate --add=<name>
       git-reintegrate (--edit | --rebuild | --cat | --status) [<name>]
       git reintegrate (--continue | --abort)

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is a helper to be able to manage integration branches in Git easily. It does so
       by specifying a list of merges to be applied on top of a base branch. Each one of these
       merges can have a description that will be used as the merge commit message.

       This instruction sheet can autogenerated and modified in various ways through the command
       line, or manually edited.

       Finally the integration branch can be rebuilt, and previous conflicts resolutions can be
       reused thanks to git rerere.

OPTIONS

       --create
           Create a new integration branch.

           If no base is specified, master is assumed.

       --generate
           Generates the instruction sheet basied on an existing integration branch. The messages
           of each merge commit will be parsed to construct the instructions. The messages should
           be in the standard form Merge branch 'name' (or remote branch).

           If no base is specified, master is assumed.

       --[no-]rebuild
           Rebuild the integration branch.

       --edit
           Edit the instruction sheet.

       --cat
           Print the instruction sheet.

       --status
           Prints the status of the integration branch.

       --add=<branch>
           Appends a line merge <branch> to the instruction list, causing that branch to be
           included in the integration branch when it is next rebuilt. This option may be
           specified multiple times to add multiple branches.

       --continue
           Restart the rebuild process after having resolved a merge conflict.

       --abort
           Abort the rebuild operation.

       --[no-]autocontinue
           Continues automatically if the rerere mechanism manages to resolve all conflicts
           during a merge.

       If --continue or --abort are specified then no other options may be given.

CONFIGURATION

       integration.autocontinue
           Sets the default for the --autocontinue option.

       integration.autorebuild
           Automatically rebuild the integration branch after creating/editing it if --no-rebuild
           is not specified.

FORMAT OF INSTRUCTIONS

       The instruction sheet consists of a series of instructions which begin in column zero,
       each of which may be followed by indented comments. The following instructions are
       supported:

       base <ref>
           Resets the state of the integration branch to the specified revision. This should
           always be the first instruction in the instruction sheet, and should appear only at
           the top of the instruction sheet.

       merge <ref> [<options>]
           Merges the specified ref into the integration branch. Any comments following the
           instruction are appended to the merge commit’s commit message.

           If any options are given after the ref (and on the same line) then these are passed to
           git merge. This may be useful for specifying an alternative merge strategy for a
           branch.

       fixup <ref>
           Picks up an existing commit to be applied on top of a merge as a fixup.

       commit
           Adds an empty commit with the specified message mostly to be used as a comment.

       pause
           Pauses the rebuild process, so the user can do certain actions manually, for example
           fixing a wrong conflict resoltion.

       . <args...>
           Ignores this command and its description. This can be used to remove a branch from the
           integration branch without needing to delete it and its description from the
           instruction sheet.

   Example
           base master

           merge my-experimental-feature

             I think this is a good idea, but want to dogfood it before I
             decide whether to submit it upstream.

           merge my-site-specific-changes

             Some changes to suit my environment.  DO NOT SUBMIT THESE.
