The gl utility is a version control system
built on top of Git.
The gl utility accepts the following
commands:
track- Start tracking changes to files.
untrack- Stop tracking changes to files.
status- Show the status of the repository.
diff- Show the status of the repository.
commit- Save changes to the local repository. By default all tracked modified
files are committed. To customize the set of files to be committed use the
only, exclude, and include flags.
-m- Specify the commit message.
-p,
--partial- Interactively select segments of files to commit.
branch- List, create, edit, or delete branches.
-c,
--create- Create the specified branch(es).
-d,
--delete- Delete the specified branch(es).
-dp,
-divergent-point- The commit from which to “branch out”.
-sh,
--set-head- Set the head of the current branch.
-su,
--set-upstream- Set the upstream branch of the current branch.
-uu,
--unset-upstream- Unset the upstream branch of the current branch.
-v- Be verbose, output the head of each branch.
tag- List, create, or delete tags.
-c,
--create- Create tag(s).
-ci,
--commit- Specify the commit to tag.
-d,
--delete- Delete tag(s).
-r,
--remote- List remote tags in addition to local ones.
checkout- Checkout the committed versions of the specified files.
-cp,
--commit-point- The commit point to checkout the files as.
merge- Merge the divergent changes of one branch onto another.
-a- Abort the merge in progress.
resolve- Mark files with conflicts as resolved.
fuse- Fuse the divergent changes of a branch onto the current branch. By default
all divergent changes from the given source branch are fused. To customize
the set of commits to fuse use the only and exclude flags.
-a,
--abort- Abort the fuse in progress.
-ip,
--insertion-point- The divergent changes will be inserted after the specified
commit.
remote- List, create, edit, or delete remotes.
-c,
--create- Create a remote.
-d,
--delete- Delete a remote.
publish- Publish commits upstream.
switch- Switch branches.
-mo,
--move-over- Move the uncommitted changes made to the current branch to the
destination branch.
init- Create an empty Gitless repository or create one from an existing remote
repository.
history- Show the commit history.
-b,
--branch- The branch to show the history of.
-c,
--compact- Output the history in a compact format.
-l,
--limit- Limit the number of commits displayed.
-v,
--verbose- Be verbose, output the diffs of the commits.
The following options have a similar meaning for various
commands:
-e,
--exclude- Exclude the specified files; the files must be tracked and modified.
-h,
--help- Display a help message.
-i,
--include- Include the specified files; the files must be untracked.
-o,
--only- Use only the specified files; the files must be tracked and modified.
The gl utility makes use of the following
environment variables, if specified:
EDITOR- Specify the editor to use for composing commit messages; default:
“
vim”.
- Specify the pager to be used if the core.pager
setting is not specified in the Git configuration; default:
“
less -r
-f”. If the pager to be executed is
actually less(1), the -r and
-f flags are appended to its arguments.
The operation of the gl utility is
influenced by the same configuration files that git(1)
uses; see the “FILES” section of the
git-config(1) documentation.
Please see the Gitless website at
https://gitless.com/.
The gl utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
