1895 Rebasing begins with the first descendant commit of the youngest
1896 common ancestor commit shared by the specified
1898 and the work tree's current branch, and stops once the tip commit
1905 is used as intended, the specified
1907 represents a local commit history and may already contain changes
1908 that are not yet visible in any other repositories.
1909 The work tree's current branch, which must be set with

1914 a common history with the specified
1916 but has progressed, and perhaps diverged, due to commits added to the
1919 Rebased commits are accumulated on a temporary branch which the work tree
1920 will remain switched to throughout the entire rebase operation.
1921 Commits on this branch represent the same changes with the same log
1922 messages as their counterparts on the original
1924 but with different commit IDs.
1925 Once rebasing has completed successfully, the temporary branch becomes
1926 the new version of the specified
1928 and the work tree is automatically switched to it.
1930 Old commits in their pre-rebase state are automatically backed up in the
1931 .Dq refs/got/backup/rebase

1954 If merge conflicts occur, the rebase operation is interrupted and may
1955 be continued once conflicts have been resolved.
1956 If any files with destined changes are found to be missing or unversioned,
1957 or if files could not be deleted due to differences in deleted content,
1958 the rebase operation will be interrupted to prevent potentially incomplete
1959 changes from being committed to the repository without user intervention.
1960 The work tree may be modified as desired and the rebase operation can be
1961 continued once the changes present in the work tree are considered complete.
1962 Alternatively, the rebase operation may be aborted which will leave
1964 unmodified and the work tree switched back to its original branch.

2110 The format of the histedit script is line-based.
2111 Each line in the script begins with a command name, followed by
2112 whitespace and an argument.
2113 For most commands, the expected argument is a commit ID SHA1 hash.
2114 Any remaining text on the line is ignored.
2115 Lines which begin with the

2141 Every commit in the history being edited must be mentioned in the script.
2142 Lines may be re-ordered to change the order of commits in the edited history.
2143 No commit may be listed more than once.
2145 Edited commits are accumulated on a temporary branch which the work tree

2177 If any files with destined changes are found to be missing or unversioned,
2178 or if files could not be deleted due to differences in deleted content,
2179 the histedit operation will be interrupted to prevent potentially incomplete
2180 changes from being committed to the repository without user intervention.
2181 The work tree may be modified as desired and the histedit operation can be
2182 continued once the changes present in the work tree are considered complete.
2183 Alternatively, the histedit operation may be aborted which will leave
2184 the work tree switched back to its original branch.

2534 command is able to display local changes relative to staged changes,
2535 and to display staged changes relative to the repository.
2538 command cannot revert staged changes but may be used to revert
2539 local changes created on top of staged changes.
2546 Instead of staging new changes, list paths which are already staged,
2547 along with the IDs of staged blob objects and stage status codes.

2826 Alternatively, for quick and dirty local testing of
2828 a new Git repository could be created and populated with files,
2829 e.g. from a temporary CVS checkout located at
2832 .Dl $ gotadmin init /var/git/src.git
2833 .Dl $ got import -r /var/git/src.git -I CVS -I obj /tmp/src
2835 Check out a work tree from the Git repository to /usr/src:
2837 .Dl $ got checkout /var/git/src.git /usr/src
2839 View local changes in a work tree directory:
2841 .Dl $ got diff | less
2843 In a work tree, display files in a potentially problematic state:
2845 .Dl $ got status -s 'C!~?'
2847 Interactively revert selected local changes in a work tree directory:
2849 .Dl $ got revert -p -R\ .

2867 .Dl $ got update -b unified-buffer-cache
2869 Create a new commit from local changes in a work tree directory.
2870 This new commit will become the head commit of the work tree's current branch:
2874 In a work tree or a git repository directory, view changes committed in
2875 the 3 most recent commits to the work tree's branch, or the branch resolved
2876 via the repository's HEAD reference, respectively:
2878 .Dl $ got log -p -l 3
2880 As above, but display changes in the order in which
2882 could apply them in sequence:
2884 .Dl $ got log -p -l 3 -R
2886 In a work tree or a git repository directory, log the history of a subdirectory:
2888 .Dl $ got log sys/uvm
2890 While operating inside a work tree, paths are specified relative to the current
2891 working directory, so this command will log the subdirectory
2894 .Dl $ cd sys/uvm && got log\ .
2896 And this command has the same effect:
2898 .Dl $ cd sys/dev/usb && got log ../../uvm
2900 And this command displays work tree meta-data about all tracked files:
2903 .Dl $ got info\ . | less
2905 Add new files and remove obsolete files in a work tree directory:
2907 .Dl $ got add sys/uvm/uvm_ubc.c
2908 .Dl $ got remove sys/uvm/uvm_vnode.c
2910 Create a new commit from local changes in a work tree directory
2911 with a pre-defined log message.
2913 .Dl $ got commit -m 'unify the buffer cache'
2915 Alternatively, create a new commit from local changes in a work tree
2916 directory with a log message that has been prepared in the file
2919 .Dl $ got commit -F /tmp/msg
2921 Update any work tree checked out from the
2922 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
2923 branch to the latest commit on this branch:
2927 Roll file content on the unified-buffer-cache branch back by one commit,
2928 and then fetch the rolled-back change into the work tree as a local change
2929 to be amended and perhaps committed again:
2931 .Dl $ got backout unified-buffer-cache
2932 .Dl $ got commit -m 'roll back previous'
2933 .Dl $ # now back out the previous backout :-)
2934 .Dl $ got backout unified-buffer-cache

2988 Before working against existing branches in a repository cloned with
2989 .Cm git clone --bare
2994 must be configured to map all references in the remote repository
2997 namespace of the local repository.
2998 This can be achieved by setting Git's
2999 .Pa remote.origin.fetch
3000 configuration variable to the value
3001 .Dq +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
3006 .Dl $ cd /var/git/repo
3007 .Dl $ git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
3011 option must be disabled:
3013 .Dl $ cd /var/git/repo
3014 .Dl $ git config remote.origin.mirror false
3016 Alternatively, the following
3018 configuration item can be added manually to the Git repository's
3022 .Dl [remote \&"origin\&"]
3024 .Dl fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
3027 This configuration leaves the local repository's
3029 namespace free for use by local branches checked out with
3031 and, if needed, created with
3034 .Dq refs/remotes/origin
3035 namespace can now be updated with incoming changes from the remote
3040 without extra command line arguments.
3041 Newly fetched changes can be examined with
3044 Display changes on the remote repository's version of the
3046 branch, as of the last time
3050 .Dl $ got log -c origin/master | less
3052 As shown here, most commands accept abbreviated reference names such as
3055 .Dq refs/remotes/origin/master .
3056 The latter is only needed in case of ambiguity.
3059 must be used to merge changes which are visible on the
3064 This will also merge local changes, if any, with the incoming changes:
3066 .Dl $ got update -b origin/master
3067 .Dl $ got rebase master
3069 In order to make changes committed to the
3070 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3074 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3075 branch must first be rebased onto the
3079 .Dl $ got update -b master
3080 .Dl $ got rebase unified-buffer-cache
3083 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3084 branch can now be made visible on the
3088 Because the rebase operation switched the work tree to the
3089 .Dq unified-buffer-cache
3090 branch, the work tree must be switched back to the
3094 .Dl $ got update -b master
3095 .Dl $ got integrate unified-buffer-cache
3099 branch, log messages for local changes can now be amended with
3101 by other developers and any other important new information:
3103 .Dl $ got update -c origin/master
3104 .Dl $ got histedit -m
3106 If the remote repository offers write access, local changes on the
3108 branch can be sent to the remote repository with
3112 can be run without further arguments.
3113 The arguments shown here match defaults, provided the work tree's
3114 current branch is the
3118 .Dl $ got send -b master origin
3120 If the remote repository requires the HTTPS protocol, the
3122 command must be used instead:
3124 .Dl $ cd /var/git/src.git
3125 .Dl $ git push origin master
3127 When making contributions to projects which use the
3129 workflow, SSH protocol repository access needs to be set up first.
3130 Once an account has been created on a Git hosting site it should
3131 be possible to upload a public SSH key for repository access
3136 workflow will usually involve two remote repositories.
3137 In the real-life example below, the
3139 repository was forked from the
3141 repository by using the Git hosting site's web interface.
3144 file in the local repository describes both remote repositories:
3145 .Bd -literal -offset indent
3146 # Jelmers's repository, which accepts pull requests
3148 server git@github.com
3150 repository "/jelmer/dulwich"
3154 # Stefan's fork, used as the default remote repository
3156 server git@github.com
3158 repository "/stspdotname/dulwich"
3163 With this configuration, Stefan can create commits on
3164 .Dq refs/heads/master
3165 and send them to the
3167 repository by running:
3169 .Dl $ got send -b master origin
3171 The changes can now be proposed to Jelmer by opening a pull request
3172 via the Git hosting site's web interface.
3173 If Jelmer requests further changes to be made, additional commits
3174 can be created on the
3176 branch and be added to the pull request by running
3180 If Jelmer prefers additional commits to be
3182 then the following commands can be used to achieve this:
3184 .Dl $ got update -b master
3185 .Dl $ got update -c origin/master
3186 .Dl $ got histedit -f
3187 .Dl $ got send -f -b master origin
3189 Once Jelmer has accepted the pull request, Stefan can fetch the
3190 merged changes, and possibly several other new changes, by running:
3192 .Dl $ got fetch upstream
3194 The merged changes will now be visible under the reference
3195 .Dq refs/remotes/upstream/master .
3198 branch can now be rebased on top of the latest changes
3201 .Dl $ got update -b upstream/master
3202 .Dl $ got rebase master
3204 As a final step, the forked repository's copy of the master branch needs
3205 to be kept in sync by sending the new changes there:
3207 .Dl $ got send -f -b master origin
3209 If multiple pull requests need to be managed in parallel, a separate branch
3210 must be created for each pull request with
3212 Each such branch can then be used as above, in place of
3213 .Dq refs/heads/master .
3214 Changes for any accepted pull requests will still appear under
3215 .Dq refs/remotes/upstream/master,
3216 regardless of which branch was used in the forked repository to
3217 create a pull request.
