When you decide that the current branch needs to use a different hash
and content, currently you need to reset --hard
to the new position.
However, reset --hard
has the annoying side-effect of deleting any
outstanding work.
It would be nice to be able to jump the tip of the current branch to a new position and update the working tree, as long as there's no overlap between files changed in the working tree and in the diff to the remote location.
Just type:
git-jump <refspec>
To jump to the new location.
When you have a local branch that is tracking a remote branch (and has
no local commits) that was rebased, you would have to reset --hard
to the remote location. This requires typing out the name of the
upstream branch (or "@{u}" at least), and as usual, loses any
uncommitted changes.
Just type:
git-jump
With no parameters, and it will jump to the upstream location, taking any uncommitted changes on top.
