# Backporting a change
This document contains some examples of how to backport a change from master to another branch. This is not meant to be
an exhaustive list of how to backport a change.

## Using [sqren/backport](https://github.com/sqren/backport)
This is a CLI tool that automates the backport process for you once a change is in master.

To setup, follow the instructions in the [repository](https://github.com/sqren/backport)
A `.backportrc.json` file is maintained in the root of this repository to keep track of the branches that can be
backported to.
