git-branch(1) |
|
============= |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-branch - List, create, or delete branches. |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git-branch' [-r] |
|
'git-branch' [-f] <branchname> [<start-point>] |
|
'git-branch' (-d | -D) <branchname>... |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
With no arguments given (or just `-r`) a list of available branches |
|
will be shown, the current branch will be highlighted with an asterisk. |
|
|
|
In its second form, a new branch named <branchname> will be created. |
|
It will start out with a head equal to the one given as <start-point>. |
|
If no <start-point> is given, the branch will be created with a head |
|
equal to that of the currently checked out branch. |
|
|
|
With a `-d` or `-D` option, `<branchname>` will be deleted. You may |
|
specify more than one branch for deletion. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
-d:: |
|
Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged. |
|
|
|
-D:: |
|
Delete a branch irrespective of its index status. |
|
|
|
-f:: |
|
Force the creation of a new branch even if it means deleting |
|
a branch that already exists with the same name. |
|
|
|
-r:: |
|
List only the "remote" branches. |
|
|
|
<branchname>:: |
|
The name of the branch to create or delete. |
|
The new branch name must pass all checks defined by |
|
gitlink:git-check-ref-format[1]. Some of these checks |
|
may restrict the characters allowed in a branch name. |
|
|
|
<start-point>:: |
|
The new branch will be created with a HEAD equal to this. It may |
|
be given as a branch name, a commit-id, or a tag. If this option |
|
is omitted, the current branch is assumed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
Start development off of a known tag:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6 |
|
$ cd my2.6 |
|
$ git branch my2.6.14 v2.6.14 <1> |
|
$ git checkout my2.6.14 |
|
------------ |
|
+ |
|
<1> This step and the next one could be combined into a single step with |
|
"checkout -b my2.6.14 v2.6.14". |
|
|
|
Delete unneeded branch:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git |
|
$ cd my.git |
|
$ git branch -D todo <1> |
|
------------ |
|
+ |
|
<1> delete todo branch even if the "master" branch does not have all |
|
commits from todo branch. |
|
|
|
|
|
Notes |
|
----- |
|
|
|
If you are creating a branch that you want to immediately checkout, it's |
|
easier to use the git checkout command with its `-b` option to create |
|
a branch and check it out with a single command. |
