GIT-QPOP(1)                     Git-MQ Commands                    GIT-QPOP(1)

NAME
       git-qpop - pop patches from the Git-MQ patch stack

SYNOPSIS
       git qpop [[-f [--no-backup]] | --keep-changes] [<patch>]
       git qpop [[-f [--no-backup]] | --keep-changes] [<index>]
       git qpop [[-f [--no-backup]] | --keep-changes] [-a | --all]

DESCRIPTION
       The  git qpop  command  will  pop patches from the Git-MQ applied patch
       stack, until the patch specified by the <patch>  argument  (an  applied
       patch   name),   or   by   the   <index>  argument  (an  applied  patch
       sequence number, as reported  by  the  git qseries --verbose  command),
       becomes the topmost applied patch.

       If  the  -a  (or --all)  option is selected, then no <patch> or <index>
       argument should be  specified;  this  will  pop  all  currently‐applied
       patches, leaving the patch stack empty.

       If no <patch> or <index> argument is specified, and the --all option is
       not selected, then only the one currently‐topmost patch will be popped,
       leaving its most recently applied predecessor as the new topmost patch;
       (this is the patch, if any, which would be identified by the  git qprev
       command).   If  there  is  no applied predecessor, then the patch stack
       will be left empty.

OPTIONS
       -a, --all
           Pop all currently‐applied patches, thus  leaving  the  patch  stack
           empty.

       -f, --force
           If  any  files,  known  to  and  tracked  by git, have been locally
           modified  in  the  working  tree,  or  in  git's  index,  and   the
           --no-backup option has not been specified, first make backup backup
           copies  of  all  locally  modified   files;   discard   all   local
           modifications, then pop patches as appropriate.

           If  the --force option is not specified, git qpop will abort in the
           presence of local modifications.

       --no-backup
           Used only  in  conjunction  with  --force,  (and  silently  ignored
           otherwise),  discard all local modifications, without making backup
           copies.

       --keep-changes
           Attempt to preserve local modifications, while popping patches;  if
           any  local  modification  conflicts  with  patch content, abort the
           entire git qpop operation.

           (The --keep-changes option is currently unimplemented).

       If there are local  modifications  to  tracked  files,  either  in  the
       working  tree,  or  staged  in  git's index, and if neither the --force
       option, nor the --keep-changes option is specified, then  the  git qpop
       operation will be aborted.

EXIT STATUS
       On  successful  completion,  git qpop reports an exit status code of 0.
       Any non‐zero exit status code indicates that an error occurred.

COMPARISON WITH MERCURIAL QUEUES
       Inspired by, and for the most part based on behavioural observation  of
       Mercurial's MQ  extension,  the git qpop command exhibits fundamentally
       the same behaviour as its hg qpop counterpart.
