GIT-STAGE-BATCH-START(1)

NAME
git-stage-batch-start - start a hunk review session

SYNOPSIS
git-stage-batch start [-U N] [--auto-advance|--no-auto-advance]

DESCRIPTION
start finds the first unprocessed hunk, stores it as the selected change, and prints it for review. If a session is already active, the command starts a fresh pass. Untracked, non-ignored paths are registered in one NUL-safe bulk index update and one atomic session-manifest write. A path removed during discovery causes one refreshed retry; a failed index update rolls back the planned manifest.

OPTIONS

-U, --unified=N
    Use N context lines in diff output. The default is 3.

--auto-advance
    Set the session default so later action commands select the next hunk when they finish.

--no-auto-advance
    Set the session default so later action commands leave no hunk selected when they finish unless they opt back in.
