@ls-age/update-branch

Tired of running git merge origin/master all the time?

Motivation

Updating feature branches or branches created by tools like greenkeeper from master can be a real pain when maintaining a large number of repos. The update-branch tool does just this: Update a branch from another.

Installation

With node >= 10 installed run npm i -g @ls-age/update-branch or use directly via npx.

Usage

Command line interface

Note: Use npx @ls-age/update-branch instead of update-branch if you want to run it via npx.

In most cases you'll just run update-branch update, which update your current branch from origin/master.

usage: update-branch update [-h] [--branch TARGET] [--from SOURCE]
                            [-m MESSAGE] [--no-fetch]
