STG-TOP(1)

🌸 stg-top(1) — the StGit manual, bestie edition 🌸

okay so this is stg-top from the StGit Manual, and honestly? she's a short one. a lil snack. a single-job icon. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

stg-top — prints the name of the top patch. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy with zero filler 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stg top [OPTIONS]

literally one command, optional flags, no drama. slay ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So stg top prints the name of the top patch. 🫶

And in case you were wondering what "top patch" even means — the topmost patch is the currently applied patch. that's the vibe. the one sitting right at the tip of your stack like 👑.

⚠️ but bestie, listen — if no patches are applied, you get an error message. no patch, no name. the command will not just quietly hand you nothing, it will tell you. 😭

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -b <branch>, --branch=<branch> — use <branch> instead of the current branch 🦋 (yes queen, go look at a different branch's top patch, we love a field trip)

---

✨ STGIT ✨

This one's part of the StGit suite — see stg(1) for the whole friend group 🌈

and that's the page!! short, sweet, iconic, ate and left no crumbs 🍓

sign-off vibes: this lil masterpiece is from StGit 2.7.0, dated 10/17/2026 — screenshot it, frame it, put it on the fridge 💖✨🧚
