- Remember the base.
With the commands feature/hotfix/release start you can give a base from which the new branch will be created. Upon finishing this branch it will automatically merge the branch back into the base as given during the start.
If no base is given the normal functionality will be followed.
With the hotfix and release, if a base is given and it's not the DEVELOP_BRANCH, the branch will NOT be merged back into the $DEVELOP_BRANCH upon finishing this branch. - New config command.
git flow config base. This can be used to set and get the base for feature/hotfix/release branches so it can be used when finishing these branches. - Get the correct working directory when the git-flow file is a symbolic link.
- Don't check/compare hotfix and base branch when branch is merged already.
- Remove export POSIXLY_CORRECT.
Setting this environment variable can mess things up when git-flow is used in combination with other shell scripts. - Update gitflow-shFlags from upstream.
Besides other improvements this update eliminates the use of external system calls on a majority of systems which in theory leads to a speed increase of about 20%. - Use GNU getopt on BSD systems.
BSD getopt doesn't support long options in commands but the GNU getopt does.
- Git refuses to delete local branch with "-d" if it is tracking a remote one.
- Can't always delete current release/hotfix local branch on finish
Situation can occur you are on the local branch the script wants to delete, if you are you can't delete that branch. We'll switch to the base branch when you are deleting the branch you currently are on.
- Bugix: git flow config list results in error.
- Make name in feature publish optional.
Instead of always having to add the branch when doing a git flow feature publish, the name should be optional.
When a name isn't given, the current branch, if it's a feature branch, will be published. - Add option to select configuration file usage
As with the regular git config, git flow init now has the option --file, --global, --system and --local. --local is default. - Add a new command.
New command git flow config is added.
With this command you can see your current git flow configuration and you can also set the options. - Environment settings for git-flow only.
With git you can set environment variables to change behavior, like GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT for example.
You can add these exports to the file ~/.gitflow_export if you only want to set the environment variable for git-flow. - Bugfix: Missing command hotfix track.
The command git flow hotfix track is not implemented.
- Bugfix: The --showcommands was on by default. It should be off by default.
- Improve the help output of the commands.
- Fix problem with init function on BSD systems.

Some commands did not display the branch you are on after the command finished. - When finishing a hotfix/release and it's to be tagged, the tag must not exist.
-
Bugfix: feature finish does double merge when using squash option.
-
Add the ability to keep/delete local/remote branches on finish.
When finishing a release/hotfix/feature you now can keep/delete the local/remote release/hotfix/feature branch. -
New command: git flow release branch
With this command you can directly release a given branch. There is no need to start a new release and finish it. You can not use this command on the git-flow branches feature/hotfix/release/support. -
Do not display object fetch summary if flag was not set.
Thanks to Daniel Dehennin. -
Bugfix: Checking if branch exists will fail for remote branches.
-
Make die output consistent for each die case.
-
Bugfix: When running git flow init an error message pops up.
-
Show correct help for subactions.
When requesting help with -h for the subactions, the help would show the incorrect command line. -

Add the option -f,--messagefile to release and hotfix finish. Thanks to Steve Streeting for the original coding. -
Bugfix: git_current_branch fails for git prior 1.7.10.
git symbolic-ref does not have the --short option prior to version 1.7.10. Bug found by Daniel Dehennin. -
Clean up code.
Remove all porcelain commands.
Refactor code. -
Improve the back-merge functionality.
Adds an command line option (-b), which the user can utilize if the user doesn't want to back-merge but rather merge the release branch into develop. -
Add the sub-action delete to sub-commands feature, release and hotfix.
The sub-commands feature, release and hotfix now have a new sub-action, delete. With that action you can delete the branches, locally and remote. The action has two options, -f and -r. With -f you can force the deletion, even when the to be deleted branch was not merged yet. With -r the remote branch will also be deleted.
-
Bugfix: release/feature/hotfix start -F fails.
Usage of positional parameters requires to eval ${FLAGS_ARGV}. The "eval set" in function call does not propagate to the caller. -
Accept tags as base for hotfix/release/support start.
Commit pointed by tags are reachable with ^0[1]. -
Check for parameter existence for branch and tag existence helpers.
-
Do not finish hotfixes if they have no commits.
A hotfix branch must have some commits and be ahead of master. -
Bugfix: When running git flow version an error message pops up.
-
Reorder fetch and sanity checks.
When a user requests a fetch for git flow {feature|hotfix|support} start, do this before some sanity checks to avoid any conflict in branch names and/or version. -
Fix flag test in cmd_delete().
- Feature and Release squashing options.
This allows a -S option to both feature and releasing finishing actions so that developers can squash commits into one large one.
-
Add init to git-flow-{feature,release,hotfix,support}.
Fixes the relatively minor issue where 'git flow subcommand help' gives "Not a gitflow-enabled repo yet". -
Special thanks to the following individual:
Gert Van Gool
-
Remove trailing whitespace.
-
Updated from latest develop branch from nvie.
Some features were still missing. -
Remove the submodule shFlags.
Instead of the submodule we'll just use the file. -
When finishing a release or hotfix, use tag for back-merging if available.
When a release or hotfix branch is tagged, the tag is never merged into the develop branch, it is preferable to have the tag in the develop branch as well, for use with git describe for example. -
Update license info.
-
Bugfix: Typo when pulling existing feature from remote.Thanks to John Harrison, Miltos, Kostas and memleak.
-
Wrong variable names in the bare-bones.
The wrong variable name is set, this can lead to confusing on what's passed to the script,
- Fixes the suggested name for the integration branch.
When git init -d is executed on a repo with multiple branches, the suggested name for the integration branch could possibly be the same name that was already selected for the production release branch.
If no suggested name is determined the suggested name remains empty which leads to all sorts of other problems.
-
Start of the git flow AVH release.
-
Adds support for the version filter in the commands
git flow release start
andgit flow hotfix start
-
Adds support for hooks in various commands.
- Fix usage of shFlags on FreeBSD
Release date: not yet

git flow feature finish
can now be called without a feature branch name(prefix) argument and will finish the current branch, if on any. -
git flow feature pull
now has a-r
flag, to supportpull --rebase
semantics (thanks Vedang Manerikar). -
Various minor bug fixes related to internal argument passing.
-
Improved some documentation.
-
Better support for Windows and BSD users.
-
Add package installer for the Windows platform.
Release date: 2011/02/04
-
New option
-d
added togit flow init
, to initialize with defaults without asking for input interactively. Ideal for creating git-flow enabled repos in custom scripts. -
The parsing issues related to git-flow feature's flags are now dealt with on all known platforms. (Fixed #54, #62, #86, #97)
-
Escape queries for detecting branch/tag names. (Fixed #91)
Release date: 2010/10/18
-
The flag parsing issues of git-flow subcommands are solved for most platforms.
-
git flow {feature,hotfix,release} finish
now takes a-k
flag, to keep the branch around after finishing. -
git flow release finish
takes a-n
flag, to skip tagging. -
For consistency,
git flow {release,hotfix}
now, too, have apublish
andtrack
subcommand, just likefeature
. -
Various minor fixes.
Release date: 2010/07/22
-
New subcommands for
git flow feature
:-
checkout: For easily checking out features by their short name. Even allows unique prefixes as arguments (see below).
-
pull: This subcommand allows you to painlessly work on a feature branch together with another peer. This is especially valuable for doing peer reviews of other people's code. For more detailed info, see the commit log.
-
-
Easier addressing of branch names by using name prefixes. For example, when using:
git flow feature finish fo
this automatically finishes the feature branch
foobar
if that's the only feature branch name starting withfo
. -
No force flag anymore for new feature branches
git flow feature start
lost its-f
(force) flag. You now don't have to be in a clean repo anymore to start a new feature branch. This avoids the manualgit stash
,git flow feature start
,git stash pop
cycle. -
You can use
git-flow
in stand-alone repo's now. This means it does not assume you have anorigin
repository. (Thanks Mark.) -
No commands fetch from
origin
by default anymore. There were some issues related to disabling this flag on some platforms. -
Init guesses branch names you may want to use for
develop
andmaster
. -
Added super-easy installation script. (Thanks Rick.)
-
Added BSD license.
