| git-reparent-branch(1) |
| ===================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-reparent-branch - |
| include::_git-reparent-branch_desc.helper.txt[] |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git reparent-branch' <new_parent> |
| 'git reparent-branch' --lkgr |
| 'git reparent-branch' --root |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| Change the 'upstream' of the current branch, and then run |
| linkgit:git-rebase-update[1] to move the commits in the current branch, as well |
| as the commits in all descendant branches, onto the new parent. |
| |
| `<new_parent>` may be either a local branch, remote branch, OR a tag (such as |
| `lkgr`). |
| |
| This is particularly useful to reparent an independent CL to become dependent on |
| another CL, or vice versa. This could happen if you started both on the |
| assumption that they were independent, but later realized that this was not the |
| case. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| <new_parent>:: |
| The new parent to set as the upstream for this branch. May be a branch ref or |
| a tag. |
| |
| --lkgr:: |
| Reparent to track lkgr. |
| |
| --root:: |
| Reparent to track the 'root' branch. Defaults to 'origin/master'. See |
| linkgit:git-new-branch[1]'s CONFIGURATION VARIABLES section.. |
