pull --rebase --autostash does NOT the same thing

[ScreamingDev]

What I used git up for:

• See if every branch is in a valid state.
• Valid means:
  • Nothing to stash
  • Remote / tracking branch is set correctly
  • No commit behind or in front

What rebase autostash does:

• Nagging about missing tracking branch and aborting.

So in general I do no longer get a sum up of all the problem to handle them but instead I get one problem after another which is so damn slowing down.

Would you recover working on this tool?
Shall I?
Are there other?

I'm sorry that your use case isn't met, but I will not be reviving git-up as long as I don't personally need it. There are probably other tools for doing the same thing, but I don't know of any off the top of my head.

I agree with @ScreamingDev it definitely doesn't do the same thing. However, @aanand you needn't worry, as this has been working for me for years. It's the solution to keeping my repos up to date.

Here's my latest workaround... create a script to do this then alias it in your git config...

Copy the gist somewhere into git-up.sh, then chmod +x git-up.sh
https://gist.github.com/0x-2a/295cbe513085413d4ca245ce112da2ea

Open your ~/.gitconfig with your preferred editor, add this to the bottom (or to the alias section if you already have it)

[alias]
  up = !zsh /path-to-your-git-up-sh-file/git-up.sh

@0x-2a That gist is gone now. Might you still have the script?

@seanadkinson oh yeah, looks like the link didn't survive my username change -- updated to:

https://gist.github.com/0x-2a/295cbe513085413d4ca245ce112da2ea

I still get some occasional oddities with it, but mostly has been working ok.
