git hack <branch>
The hack command ("let's start hacking") creates a new feature branch with the given name off the main branch and brings all uncommitted changes over to it.
When running without uncommitted changes in your workspace, it also
syncs the main branch to ensure you develop on top of the current
state of the repository. If the workspace contains uncommitted changes,
git hack
does not perform this sync to let you commit your open changes first
and then sync manually.
Configuration
If the repository contains a remote called upstream
, it also syncs the main
branch with its upstream counterpart. You can control this behavior with the
sync-upstream flag.
If push-new-branches is set, git hack
creates a remote tracking branch for the new feature branch. This behavior is
disabled by default to make git hack
run fast. The first run of git sync
will create the remote tracking branch.
