`status` Command

The git flutter status command is used to understand the current state of a repository and your checkout. It is designed as a standard SDLC aware replacement for the git status command and shows you:

your current branch and its relationship to the GitHub origin
local modifications and their state (e.g. staged, untracked, etc)
status of other important repository branches (e.g. release or develop branches)
semver tag status of current and important branches
sync status of current and important branches

Usage:
  git flutter status [flags]

Flags:
  -s, --source string   working directory (default ".")

Global Flags:
      --cache string                application cache file (default "/home/runner/.git-flutter.cache.v9")
  -f, --fetch-expiration duration   time till fetch remote again (default 1h0m0s)
      --no-check-version            doesn't check for updated version
      --no-network                  doesn't perform network operations
  -v, --verbose                     verbose log output

The command adds progressively greater value the more complex your configured SDLC.

Examples

Develop Branches Ahead

Two teams (opo and lds) are working with the multiple teams SDLC. Engineers from both teams have now merged several features into their develop branches which are not yet released. As a member of the Leeds team I want to release our work. I use the status command to see the latest release tag on main, the state of all team development branches and whether any team has an existing release in progress.

$ git flutter status
lds/feature/my-new-thing

main
  i v1.3.2

opo/develop
  i v1.4.0-opo.alpha.3
  i 3 ahead of main

lds/develop
  i v1.4.0-lds.alpha.5
  i 5 ahead of main

Check Release Status (in-progress)

Two teams (opo and lds) are working with the multiple teams SDLC.As a member of the Porto team I want to release so I use the status command to check whether any other team has a release in progress. I see that the Leeds team are currently releasing so know to check with them when they will have completed as only one major/minor release can occur at any time.

$ git flutter status
main (current)
  i v1.3.2



opo/develop
  i v1.4.0-opo.alpha.3
  i 3 ahead of main

lds/develop
  i v1.4.0-lds.alpha.5
  i 5 ahead of main

lds/release/1.4
  i HEAD would be v1.4.0-lds.beta.5 (inferred)
  i 5 ahead of main

Check Release Status (merged)

Two teams (opo and lds) are working with the multiple teams SDLC.As a member of the Porto team I want to release so I use the status command to check whether any other team has a release in progress. Now the Leeds release has been merged into main I can see no release is in progress so I can start the next one myself.

$ git flutter status
main (current)
  i v1.4.0



opo/develop
  i v1.4.0-opo.alpha.3
  ! 6 behind and 3 ahead of main

lds/develop
  i v1.4.0-lds.alpha.5
  ! 1 behind main
