About:
GitOctopus is a continuous merge workflow tool that automates the process of merging multiple branches. It simplifies complex Git workflows by automatically updating feature branches with changes from a main branch, reducing merge conflicts and ensuring branches stay current.

Key Features:

Automated multi-branch merging
Conflict detection and resolution assistance
Integration with existing Git workflows
Configuration via simple rules file

Use Cases:

Maintaining long-running feature branches in sync with main branch
Managing multiple parallel development streams
Continuous integration workflows requiring branch synchronization

Alternatives:

git-imerge – git-imerge performs incremental merges but requires more manual intervention
git-annex – git-annex focuses on file management rather than branch merging workflows
