wtm reparent

Change the parent one or more worktrees are rebased onto

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”

Change the recorded parent (source branch) of one or more worktrees. Only the metadata is updated — the rebase happens on the next wtm sync. Pass the worktrees and --to , or run with no arguments to multi-select interactively. The new parent must exist as a local or origin remote-tracking branch (origin/x), and the resulting parent chain must stay acyclic.

wtm reparent [branch...] [flags]

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
  # Pick the worktrees and their new parent
  wtm reparent


  # feat/login was merged: stack its child on main, then rebase it
  wtm reparent feat/login-ui --to main --yes
  wtm sync feat/login-ui

Options

Section titled “Options”
  -h, --help            help for reparent
      --output string   Output format: text or json (default "text")
      --to string       New parent branch to rebase onto
  -y, --yes             Skip all prompts; resolve every decision from flags and safe defaults (needs at least one worktree and --to)

Options inherited from parent commands

Section titled “Options inherited from parent commands”
  -q, --quiet   Silence human output; errors and the exit code are unaffected, and --output json still emits its document
