Hey Travis! We're going to make a video and some docs on this soon (it's a common question)

gt sync

is roughly equivalent to doing a

git pull

(with the added benefit of restacking your PRs if needed) Generally you do this when there have been new commits to main and you want to make sure your branches are rebased on the latest changes

gt get

is used when you want to bring an "external" branch into your working space, if you're collaborating with a coworker on a stack for example.

gt sync

would not get this branch for you, but

gt get

would. If a coworker commits changes to a branch that you're working on, you would also use

gt get

in this case (I believe committing suggested changes works similarly) Let me know if that makes sense (and also cc @Alyssa Baum let me know if I missed anything)

Is there a way to run gt sync for only the stack I'm currently on? Sometimes I only want to bring a specific stack up to date and I need to manually pull master and restack the branch im on

There is not, however you can do

gt sync -no-restack

followed by

gt restack --only

to sync everything but only restack your current stack

oh nice didn't know about

--no-restack

, exactly what I'm looking for! thanks!
