NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::merge - join two stack histories together

VERSION

       version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT merge [OPTIONS] STACK [INTO_STACK]

DESCRIPTION

       !! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

       This command joins the history of one stack with another.  At present, it is only capable of doing a
       "fast-forward" merge when the head of STACK is a direct descendant of the head of INTO_STACK.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       The first mandatory argument is the name of the stack to merge from.  The second optional argument is the
       name of the stack to merge to.  If the second argument is not specified, it defaults to whichever stack
       is currently marked as the default.  Here are some examples:

         pinto ... merge dev               # Merge the "dev" stack into the default stack
         pinto ... merge dev prod          # Merge the "dev" stack into the "prod" stack

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --dry-run
           Go  through  all  the  motions,  but  do  not  actually commit any changes to the repository.  At the
           conclusion, a diff showing the changes that would have been made will be displayed.  Use this  option
           to see how upgrades would potentially impact the stack.

       --message=TEXT
       -m TEXT
           Use  TEXT  as  the  revision  history  log  message.  If you do not use the "--message" option or the
           "--use-default-message" option, then you will be prompted to enter the message via your text  editor.
           Use the "PINTO_EDITOR" or "EDITOR" or "VISUAL" environment variables to control which editor is used.
           A  log message is not required whenever the "--dry-run" option is set, or if the action did not yield
           any changes to the repository.

       --use-default-message
       -M  Use the default value for the revision history log message.  Pinto will generate  a  semi-informative
           log  message  just  based  on  the  command  and  its arguments.  If you set an explicit message with
           "--message", the "--use- default-message" option will be silently ignored.
