| .SH "NAME" |
| git-reparent-branch \- Alter the parentage (upstream) for the current branch\&. |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \fIgit reparent\-branch\fR <new_parent> |
| \fIgit reparent\-branch\fR \-\-lkgr |
| \fIgit reparent\-branch\fR \-\-root |
| .fi |
| .sp |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Change the \fIupstream\fR of the current branch, and then run \fBgit-rebase-update\fR(1) to move the commits in the current branch, as well as the commits in all descendant branches, onto the new parent\&. |
| .sp |
| <new_parent> may be either a local branch, remote branch, OR a tag (such as lkgr)\&. |
| .sp |
| This is particularly useful to reparent an independent CL to become dependent on another CL, or vice versa\&. This could happen if you started both on the assumption that they were independent, but later realized that this was not the case\&. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| <new_parent> |
| .RS 4 |
| The new parent to set as the upstream for this branch\&. May be a branch ref or a tag\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-lkgr |
| .RS 4 |
| Reparent to track lkgr\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-root |
| .RS 4 |
| Reparent to track the |
| \fIroot\fR |
| branch\&. Defaults to |

| \fBgit-new-branch\fR(1)\*(Aqs CONFIGURATION VARIABLES section\&.\&. |
