Other Branches

All other branches can be named whatever you want so long as they do not start with iso, int or feat__ they will not be touched, by the commands below.

Quick Start

• Install

  npm i -D git-compose

• Make sure your branches follow the IIP™ branch naming conventions.

• Use the commands below

Commands

• print project branch hierarchy

  npx git-compose print_heirarchy

  verbose mode (shows full branch names)

  npx git-compose print_heirarchy -v

  fetch remotes

  npx git-compose print_heirarchy -f

• build an integration branch

  npx git-compose build_integration_branch <branch>

  name must be prefixed with int__ and must contain existing branches eg. int__branch1--branch_sub2--branch_sub2_subsub1
• cascade merge updates through all branches

  npx git-compose cascade_merge

Env file

Add an .env file to your project to configure this script. eg.

ROOT_BRANCH=iso__base
ERROR_LOG_PATH=git-branch-errors.txt
