git prepend <branch>
The prepend command creates a new feature branch as the parent of the current branch. It does that by inserting the new feature branch between the current feature branch and it's old parent.
When running without uncommitted changes in your workspace, it also
syncs the current feature branch to ensure commits into the new
branch are on top of the current state of the repository. If the workspace
contains uncommitted changes, git prepend
does not perform this sync to let
you commit your open changes first and then sync manually.
Example
Consider this branch setup:
main
\
feature-2
We are on the feature-2
branch. After running git prepend feature-1
, our
repository has this branch setup:
main
\
feature-1
\
feature-2
Configuration
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.
