Subject: tracking branch for a rebase
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 06:54:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090904135414.GA3728@honk.padd.com> (raw)
I received an interesting question today.
If "git pull" knows what remote tracking brach to pull from,
why doesn't "git rebase" automatically know I want to rebase
on top of my remote tracking branch?
He had done a "git remote update", reviewed the changes, and now
wants to rebase his changes on top of the new upstream.
I told him about git pull --rebase, and branch.name.rebase,
but didn't have an easy answer to the "what is my remote tracking
branch" question in this case.
All the information is in git config branch.name.{remote,merge},
but I can't find anything that just answers that question. Nor
did I have a good answer for why "git rebase" doesn't just default
to rebasing the current branch on top of the tracking branch.
Thoughts?
