There is already a git-up (which I really recommend btw): https://github.com/aanand/git-up (Ruby) and https://github.com/msiemens/PyGitUp (Python) So why not do a quick research and choose a completely different name for it?

There's already an addon for git that makes git very painless: git up https://github.com/aanand/git-up Pick another name!

ricardobeat·Apr 30, 2013Recommendation phrase

Be careful though, rebase doesn't preserve merge commits. If you want to rebase after a merge you need git fetch && git rebase -p I recommend using git-up[1] which solves everything in a single command. [1] https://github.com/aanand/git-up

> However, git will not pull matching branches. That means that all your branches except your current branch will not get updated when you pull. This is why git-up was created: https://github.com/aanand/git-up It's silly that this is necessary, but "gem install git-up" and then run "git up" instead of "git pull" and you'll be much happier.

I've been using git-up (http://github.com/aanand/git-up) for a while now - it takes care of rebasing _all_ of your tracking branches, as well as stashing & unstashhing any local, uncommitted changes you may have lying around.
