'repo sync --rebase' should do a rebase if it encounters local commits during a 'repo sync'. This was broken by https://gerrit-review.git.corp.google.com/c/git-repo/+/437421, which caused this to execute the '_doff' hook (which stands for 'do fast forward'), which is implemented using 'git merge --no-stat'. This caused *multiple* actual editor windows to pop up (*) during 'repo sync --rebase', asking the user to enter a commit message for the merge. In this CL I explicitly make that code path do a 'git rebase'. (*) and if you use a terminal editor like 'vim', this means you have 2+ concurrent vim windows rendered in the same terminal, while 'repo sync' keeps on printing other output lines, again in the same terminal. The result is .... not pretty to say the least :( Bug: b:434565811 Test: Used it myself for over a week.

repo
Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact
Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.
You can file a new bug report under the "repo" component.
Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.
Install
Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.
# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo
# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo
You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
