BK-GCA(1)

💖 NAME 💖

bk gca — show the greatest common ancestor. This one hangs out in the none manual section, and yes that’s literally the section name bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bk gca −rrev1 −rrev2 file

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bk gca prints the revision that is the greatest common ancestor (GCA) of the two revisions you specify. That’s the whole move 🫶

But plot twist: if there is no node in the graph that’s an exact match, the printed revision will have an include list and/or an exclude list of revisions. Those revisions must be added to the revision in order to get the actual GCA. No cap, this caveat is important. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• −rrev — specify the first and second rev (both are required). Like, both of them, fr fr — you cannot just pick one and call it a day 🙈

🦋 CATEGORY 🦋

Utility — a cute little utility category, iconic behavior.
