but absorb

Amends changes into the appropriate commits where they belong.

The semantic for finding "the appropriate commit" is as follows:

  • If a change has a dependency to a particular commit, it will be amended into that particular commit
  • If a change is staged to a particular lane (branch), it will be amended into a commit there
  • If there are no commits in this branch, a new commit is created
  • Changes are amended into the topmost commit of the leftmost (first) lane (branch)

Optionally an identifier to an Uncommitted File or a Branch (stack) may be provided.

  • If an Uncommitted File id is provided, absorb will be performed for just that file
  • If a Branch (stack) id is provided, absorb will be performed for all changes staged to that stack
  • If no source is provided, absorb is performed for all uncommitted changes

If --dry-run is specified, no changes will be made; instead, the absorption plan (what changes would be absorbed by which commits) will be shown.

Usage: but absorb [SOURCE] [OPTIONS]

Arguments

  • <SOURCE> — If the Source is an uncommitted change - the change will be absorbed. If the Source is a stack - anything staged to the stack will be absorbed accordingly. If not provided, everything that is uncommitted will be absorbed

Options

  • --dry-run — Show the absorption plan without making any changes
