🤖 justsh

What is justsh?

justsh is actually a bunch of scripts which can be used in daily development, but justsh simplified it into a set of interactive instruction. Currently, the following commands are supported:

• -cherry

Usage

Install it with flag -g, then you can use it from anywhere in your computer.

npm i justsh -g

1. -cherry

Why use this when git already has cherry-pick?

Note: The script is based on this answer.

Sometimes, when you use cherry-pick, you may encountered some error like:

fatal: Commit xxxx is a merge but no -m option was given.

But at the same time, you don't care about preserving the exact merging history of a branch and just want to cherry-pick a linearized version of it, the you can use justsh -cherry to simplify this.

For example: as a frontend developer, maybe you need to maintain a base admin management system, as well as business related management systems. The former is not business related, the latter is business related, and the latter is forked from the former (which means they share the same code structure). The former will still be updated, then you can use the -cherry command to synchronize the code from the former to the latter.

* Before Starting (important)

You should already set another remote branch to your project, which you could check with git remote. The output should be something like:

origin
anotherRemote

The way to add a new remote branch:

git remote add <name> <git-repo-url>

Command:

justsh -cherry

Resolve Conflict:

When cherry-pick start, there may be conflicts. What you should do is to solve the conflicts and then execute:

git add -A
git cherry-pick --continue

At the end, you should delete the tempY branch via:

git branch -D tempY
