STG-REFRESH(1)                StGit Manual                STG-REFRESH(1)

NAME top

       stg-refresh - Generate a new commit for the current patch

SYNOPSIS top

       stg refresh [options] [--] [<files or dirs>]

DESCRIPTION top

       Include the latest work tree and index changes in the current
       patch. This command generates a new git commit object for the
       patch; the old commit is no longer visible.

       Refresh will warn if the index is dirty, and require use of
       either the --index or --force options to override this check.
       This is to prevent accidental full refresh when only some changes
       were staged using git add interative mode.

       You may optionally list one or more files or directories relative
       to the current working directory; if you do, only matching files
       will be updated.

       Behind the scenes, stg refresh first creates a new temporary
       patch with your updates, and then merges that patch into the
       patch you asked to have refreshed. If you asked to refresh a
       patch other than the topmost patch, there can be conflicts; in
       that case, the temporary patch will be left for you to take care
       of, for example with stg squash.

       The creation of the temporary patch is recorded in a separate
       entry in the patch stack log; this means that one undo step will
       undo the merge between the other patch and the temp patch, and
       two undo steps will additionally get rid of the temp patch.

       Additionally, the --spill option resets the topmost patch,
       emptying the patch while leaving the patch’s changes intact in
       the worktree.

OPTIONS top

       -u, --update
           Only update the current patch files.

       -i, --index
           Instead of setting the patch top to the current contents of
           the worktree, set it to the current contents of the index.

       -F, --force
           Instead of warning the user when some work has already been
           staged (such as with git add interactive mode) force a full
           refresh.

       -p PATCH, --patch PATCH
           Refresh (applied) PATCH instead of the top patch.

       -e, --edit
           Invoke an editor for the patch description.

       -d, --diff
           Show diff when editing patch description.

       -a NOTE, --annotate NOTE
           Annotate the patch log entry.

       -s, --submodules
           Include submodules when refreshing patch contents.

       --no-submodules
           Exclude submodules when refreshing patch contents.

       --spill

           Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.

       -f FILE, --file FILE

           FILE is "-", write to stdout.)

       --no-verify
           This option bypasses the commit-msg hook.
