edgedb branch rebase
Create a branch based on the target branch but including new migrations on the current branch.
edgedb branch rebase [options] nameThis CLI command requires CLI version 4.0 or later and EdgeDB version 5.0 or later. Earlier versions did not feature branches and instead featured databases. Databases offered no analog to rebasing. See the edgedb database command suite to manage databases.
Description
Creates a new branch that is based on the target branch, but also contains any new migrations on the current branch.
When rebasing, the data of the target branch is preserved. This means that
if you switch to a branch feature and run edgedb branch rebase
main, you will end up with a branch with the schema from main and any
new migrations from feature and the data from main.
For more about how rebasing works, check out the breakdown in our schema migrations guide.
