2 things related to splitting branches: 1. the docs for splitting a branch into multiple branches doesn't mention

--by-file

(https://graphite.com/docs/squash-fold-split#split-a-branch-into-multiple-branches) 2. not sure if i'm using it wrong, but the

--by-file

option seems to not accept multiple file paths?

ah for the 2nd thing, i did

gt feedback --with-debug-context

and will reply to that email instead

Hey Ally, got the CLI logs! thanks. Good callout re the missing example of by file in that link you shared, i will make sure that gets updated! We do note the

--by-file

in the CLI reference here https://graphite.com/docs/command-reference#gt-split

thanks! yea i saw

--by-file

in the CLI help in my terminal, and i assumed the web command reference was generated from the same thing

just took a look and seems like

gt split -f <pathspec> -f <pathspec>”

  should help you here

that doesn't work either 😕

~/repos/lawy2 (recover-ingest) gt split -f apps/e2e/tests/utils.ts -f apps/lawy/components/documents/update-document-form.tsx

Exited early: no new branches created. You are still on recover-ingest.
ERROR: No files match the provided pathspecs: apps/e2e/tests/utils.ts, apps/lawy/components/documents/update-document-form.tsx

This seems to have worked for me. The fact your error says no files match indicates something wrong with the paths maybe

what version are you running locally? i'm on

1.7.11

which i believe is latest stable? the paths are fine since i showed the output of

ls

after running

gt split

from the same directory afterwards?

this was 1.7.10 though it should be the same for the sake of this functionality. i just upgraded to 1.7.12 latest stable and it too is working fine. I would double check your working directory vs the path you are specifying maybe.
