title = Branches grow with you! cards = checkout commit-auto branch branch-delete reset-hard [description] Note that there are two options to "travel to the end of a timeline": First, you can directly travel to the commit, like we've done it before. And second, you can travel to the branch label. In this case, when you make a new commit, the branch will grow with you, and still point at the end of the timeline, which is usually what we want! Let's try both of these! [setup] echo "You wrap the birthday present, and grab your concert ticket." > you git add . git commit -m "Evening preparations" echo "You go to the birthday party!" >> you git add . git commit -m "Go to the birthday" git branch birthday git checkout HEAD~1 echo "You go to the concert!" > you git add . git commit -m "Go to the concert" git branch concert git checkout HEAD~1 git branch -D main [win] # Travel directly to the last commit of the birthday timeline, make a change to 'you', and make a commit for commit in $(git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname) %(objecttype)' --batch-all-objects | grep 'commit$' | cut -f1 -d' '); do if test $(git rev-parse $commit^) = $(git rev-parse birthday); then return 0 fi done return 1 # Travel to the 'concert' branch, make a change to 'you', and a commit. git show concert^ | grep "Go to the concert"
