sync-perennial-strategy

The sync-perennial-strategy setting specifies how to update local perennial branches with changes from their tracking branches.

options

When set to rebase (the default value), Git Town rebases local perennial branches against their tracking branch. When set to merge, it merges the tracking branch into the local perennial branch.

The best way to change this setting is via the setup assistant.

in config file

In the config file the sync-perennial-strategy is part of the [sync-strategy] section:

[sync-strategy]
perennial-branches = "rebase"

in Git metadata

To manually configure the sync-perennial-strategy in Git, run this command:

git config [--global] git-town.sync-perennial-strategy <merge|rebase>

The optional --global flag applies this setting to all Git repositories on your machine. Without it, the setting applies only to the current repository.
