Synopsis

mg adopt

​
Description

  • If <branch_name> was created outside of mg branch, adopting it integrates it into your stacked workflow.
  • This will open an interactive view of all of your branches that are not tracked in mg, and you can use ‘space’ to select branches to adopt, and enter to apply.
  • After adoption, it appears in mg list.

​
Examples

# Adopt a local branch named "feature/ui-improvements"
mg adopt feature/ui-improvements
  • If the parent is unclear, consider mg reparent.
  • If the branch was orphaned before, adopting it again is effectively reintroducing it.
