STG-CVS(1)

📦 version 2.6.1, in ubuntu stonking

💖 STG-CVS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the StGit Contributed Scripts corner of the manual, where we talk about stg-cvs, and honestly? she's a niche icon but she WORKS. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

stg-cvs — the girl who manages a mixed CVS/StGit working copy 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stg-cvs command

that's it. one command. no drama. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, stg-cvs is a little helper script, right? and her whole job is synchronizing a CVS mirror branch with an StGit stack, plus committing StGit patches back to CVS. she's basically the group chat admin keeping both sides of the convo in sync, no cap. 🫶

here's the thing though — she does not try to reconstruct patchsets. nope, not even a little. CVS changes get imported as a single "jumbo" commit onto the mirror branch. one big commit, one big vibe, and we move on. 🔥

⭐ COMMANDS ⭐

  • fetch — records changes from CVS into the git index. it's giving "noting it down for later, bestie." ✨
  • pull — fetches those CVS changes and then rebases the StGit stack on top of the updated mirror. glow-up for your history. 💖
  • commit — commits the topmost StGit patch to CVS. she's leaving the group chat to go be with CVS now. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

both of them, together, in the same room, iykyk. 💀
