NAME  SYNOPSIS  DESCRIPTION  OPTIONS 

NAME

move − Move a subtree of commits from one location to another

SYNOPSIS

move [−s|−−source] [−b|−−base] [−x|−−exact] [−d|−−dest] [−−hidden] [−f|−−force−rewrite] [−−in−memory] [−−on−disk] [−−no−deduplicate−commits] [−m|−−merge] [−−debug−dump−rebase−constraints] [−−debug−dump−rebase−plan] [−F|−−fixup] [−I|−−insert] [−h|−−help]

DESCRIPTION

Move a subtree of commits from one location to another.

By default, ‘git move‘ tries to move the entire current stack if you don't pass a ‘−−source‘ or ‘−−base‘ option (equivalent to writing ‘−−base HEAD‘).

By default, ‘git move‘ attempts to rebase all commits in−memory. If you want to force an on−disk rebase, pass the ‘−−on−disk‘ flag. Note that ‘post−commit‘ hooks are not called during in−memory rebases.

OPTIONS

−s, −−source=SOURCE

The source commit to move. This commit, and all of its descendants, will be moved

−b, −−base=BASE

A commit inside a subtree to move. The entire subtree, starting from the main branch, will be moved, not just the commits descending from this commit

−x, −−exact=EXACT

A set of specific commits to move. These will be removed from their current locations and any unmoved children will be moved to their nearest unmoved ancestor

−d, −−dest=DEST

The destination commit to move all source commits onto. If not provided, defaults to the current commit

−−hidden

Include hidden commits in the results of evaluating revset expressions

−f, −−force−rewrite

Force moving public commits, even though other people may have access to those commits

−−in−memory

Only attempt to perform an in−memory rebase. If it fails, do not attempt an on−disk rebase

−−on−disk

Skip attempting to use an in−memory rebase, and try an on−disk rebase directly

−−no−deduplicate−commits

Don't attempt to deduplicate commits. Normally, a commit with the same contents as another commit which has already been applied to the target branch is skipped. If set, this flag skips that check

−m, −−merge

Attempt to resolve merge conflicts, if any. If a merge conflict occurs and this option is not set, the operation is aborted

−−debug−dump−rebase−constraints

Debugging option. Print the constraints used to create the rebase plan before executing it

−−debug−dump−rebase−plan

Debugging option. Print the rebase plan that will be executed before executing it

−F, −−fixup

Combine the moved commits and squash them into the destination commit

−I, −−insert

Insert the subtree between the destination and it's children, if any. Only supported if the moved subtree has a single head

−h, −−help

Print help (see a summary with '−h')
