💖 NAME 💖

Git::CPAN::Patch::Command::Update — bestie, this one grabs the freshest version of a module and rebases your current branch on top of it. It's giving "stay current, stay cute." 🦋

Oh and btw, we're kicking it here in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, page Git::CP...::Update(3), in case you were wondering where you wandered into. Pull up a chair. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.5.0 — that's the one, no cap. 👑

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

% git-cpan update

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One line, zero drama. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea, and it's actually really simple:

This command runs git-cpan import first. Then — and this is the important little conditional, don't skip it — if cpan/master was updated, it runs git rebase cpan/master.

Which means: your patches get brought up to date with the upstream. Fresh. Current. Slay. ✨

So the whole flow is literally:

  1. git-cpan import happens. 🍓
  2. If cpan/master moved, git rebase cpan/master happens too.
  3. Your patches are now chillin' happily alongside the upstream, all caught up. 💖
lowkey the most useful part is that second step — without the rebase you'd just be sitting there with a stale branch wondering why nothing lines up. 🙈
