Configuration

Setting a different remote repo

A remote repo different from origin can be specified in the config file:

$ git config gitflow.origin myorigin

Default to fetching before local operations

If you always want to fetch from $ORIGIN before certain operations, for example before starting a feature:

$ git config gitflow.feature.start.fetch true

This can still be overridden on the command line by supplying the --nofetch argument.

Prevent hotfixes from automatically creating tag

If you want to have the default be not to tag you can set this config:

$ git config gitflow.hotfix.finish.notag true
