SYNOPSIS

git nav-downstream

DESCRIPTION

git-nav-downstream takes the current branch and discovers all branches downstream of it. If there is only one branch downstream of the current branch, the command will check that out. If there's more than one downstream branch, the command will prompt you with a selection of the branches.

EXAMPLE

$ git map-branches
origin/main
  cool_feature
    subfeature
  fixit
    frozen_branch

$ git nav-downstream
Previous HEAD position was beec6f4 Make ReflectorImpl use mailboxes
Switched to branch 'cool_feature'
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 4 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
Please select a downstream branch
  0. cool_feature
  1. fixit
Selection (0-1)[0]: 0
$ git map-branches
origin/main
  cool_feature *
    subfeature
  fixit
    frozen_branch

$ git nav-downstream
Switched to branch 'subfeature'
Your branch and 'cool_feature' have diverged,
and have 2 and 1 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

$ git map-branches
origin/main
  cool_feature
    subfeature *
  fixit
    frozen_branch
