Command-line tool to interactively manage chains or trees of dependent branches in a git repository.

Install the gem from Rubygems:

$ gem install branchtree

Configure your desired branch topology by creating a file called branchtree-map.yml in your home directory.

---
- branch: first-branch
  children:
  - branch: second-branch-v1
    children:
    - branch: third-branch-v1
      rebase: true
  - branch: second-branch-v2

View your current place in the branch tree by running:

$ branchtree show

# Or:

$ branchtree

Interactively check out a different branch in the tree with:

$ branchtree checkout

If you've made commits to a non-leaf branch, run this to propagate changes forward through the tree with merges and rebases:

$ branchtree update

To see the full usage, run:

$ branchtree help

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
