NAME
       git-feature - Create/Merge feature branch

SYNOPSIS
       git-feature [-a|--alias PREFIX] [-s|--separator SEPARATOR] [-r|--remote
       [REMOTE_NAME]] [--from START_POINT] NAME...

       git-feature   [-a|--alias  PREFIX]  [-s|--separator  SEPARATOR]	finish
       [--squash] NAME...

DESCRIPTION
       Create or merge the given feature branch. The feature  branch  name  is
       made from the PREFIX, the SEPARATOR, and	the NAME joined	together.

       The  default PREFIX is feature and SEPARATOR is /, which	can be changed
       (see OPTIONS and	GIT CONFIG for details).

       The branch NAME may be specified	as multiple words which	will be	joined
       with -. If the branch name contains the word finish or is  another  OP-
       TION,  -- should	be passed to stop OPTION parsing. See the EXAMPLES for
       details.

OPTIONS
       -a PREFIX, --alias PREFIX:

	      The branch prefix	to use,	or feature if not supplied.

       -s SEPARATOR, --separator SEPARATOR:

	      The separator to use for	joining	 the  branch  prefix  and  the
	      branch name, or /	if not supplied.

       -r [REMOTE_NAME], --remote [REMOTE_NAME]:

	      Setup a remote tracking branch using remote_name.	If remote_name
	      is not supplied, use origin by default.

       --from START_POINT:

	      Setup  a	start  point when the branch created. If --from	is not
	      supplied,	use the	current	branch by default. This	option will be
	      ignored when finishing a branch.

       finish:

	      Merge and	delete the feature branch.

       --squash:

	      Run a squash merge when finishing	the feature branch.

       NAME:

	      The name of the feature branch.

GIT CONFIG
       You can configure the default branch prefix and separator via git  con-
       fig options.

       git-extras.feature.prefix:

	      $	git config --global add	git-extras.feature.prefix "prefix"

       git-extras.feature.separator:

	      $	git config --global add	git-extras.feature.separator "-"

EXAMPLES
       Start a new feature:

	      $	git feature dependencies
	      ...
	      $	(feature/dependencies) git commit -m "Some changes"

       Finish a	feature	with --no-ff merge:

	      $	(feature/dependencies) git checkout master
	      $	git feature finish dependencies

       Finish a	feature	with --squash merge:

	      $	(feature/dependencies) git checkout master
	      $	git feature finish --squash dependencies

       Publish a feature upstream:

	      $	git feature dependencies -r upstream

       Use custom branch prefix:

	      $	git alias features "feature -a features"
	      $	git features dependencies
	      $	(features/dependencies)	...
	      $	(features/dependencies)	git checkout master
	      $	git features finish dependencies

       Use custom branch separator:

	      $	git feature -s - dependencies
	      $	(feature-dependencies) ...
	      $	(feature-dependencies) git checkout master
	      $	git feature -s - finish	dependencies

       Use custom branch prefix	and separator from git config with multiple
       words:

	      $	git config --global --add git-extras.feature.prefix "features"
	      $	git config --global --add git-extras.feature.separator "."
	      $	git feature dependency tracking
	      $	(features.dependency-tracking) ...
	      $	(features.dependency-tracking) git checkout master
	      $	git feature finish dependency tracking

       Use a git-feature option	or the finish command as part of a branch
       name:

	      $	git feature -- finish remote
	      ...
	      $	(feature/finish-remote)	git commit -m "Some changes"
	      $	(feature/finish-remote)	git checkout main
	      $	git feature finish -- finish remote
