          [--edit | -e] [--all | [--update | -u]] [--intent-to-add | -N]
          [--refresh] [--ignore-errors] [--ignore-missing] [--]
          [<filepattern>...]

Subcommands

Available subcommands are:

• rebase - rebase for temporary commits.
• push - rebuild remote branch after rebase.
• grep - grep temporary commits.

Try 'git now <subcommand> help' for details.
