NAME

       stg-sink - Send patches deeper down the stack

SYNOPSIS

       stg sink [-t <target patch>] [-n] [--] [<patches>]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the opposite operation of stg-float(1): move the specified patches down the stack. It is for
       example useful to group stable patches near the bottom of the stack, where they are less likely to be
       impacted by the push of another patch, and from where they can be more easily committed or pushed.

       If no patch is specified on command-line, the current patch gets sunk. By default patches are sunk to the
       bottom of the stack, but the --to option allows one to place them under any applied patch.

       Sinking internally involves popping all patches (or all patches including <target patch>), then pushing
       the patches to sink, and then (unless --nopush is also given) pushing back into place the
       formerly-applied patches.

OPTIONS

       -n, --nopush
           Do not push back on the stack the formerly-applied patches. Only the patches to sink are pushed.

       -t TARGET, --to TARGET
           Specify a target patch to place the patches below, instead of sinking them to the bottom of the
           stack.

       -k, --keep
           Keep the local changes.
