track

The track command adds an existing Git branch to your Panqake stack, establishing its relationship with other branches. This is useful when working with branches created before adopting Panqake or integrating branches created through other means.

Usage

pq track [BRANCH_NAME] [--parent PARENT_BRANCH]

Arguments

Argument	Description
BRANCH_NAME	Name of branch to track (optional)

Options

Option	Description
--parent PARENT_BRANCH	Set the parent explicitly instead of prompting
--json	Output machine-readable JSON and disable interactive prompts

Examples

Tracking a Branch with Current Branch as Parent

pq track feature-ui

Tracking a Branch with Interactive Prompts

pq track

Non-interactive Tracking

pq track feature-ui --parent main --json

TIP

After tracking, use pq list to verify the branch structure. A branch can only have one parent in the stack.
