STG-SYNC(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is stg-sync, straight outta the StGit Manual — she synchronizes patches with a branch or a series, and she's literally here to keep your patches in sync 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stg sync <--ref-branch=BRANCH|--series=SERIES> [<patch>...|--all]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

For each of the specified patches, stg sync performs a three-way merge with the same patch in the specified branch or series. The command can be used for keeping patches on several branches in sync — main character energy for your patch workflow, no cap 👑

⚠️ real talk, bestie: the operation may fail for some patches because of conflicts 😭 and the patches in the series must apply cleanly — that part is non-negotiable 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, --all — synchronize all applied patches 🌸
• -B <branch>, --ref-branch=<branch> — synchronize patches with <branch> 🌿
• -S <series>, --series=<series> — synchronize patches with <series> 🎀
• --committer-date-is-author-date — instead of using the current time as the committer date, use the author date of the commit as the committer date ⏰✨
