DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
If `--list` is given, or if there are no non-option arguments, existing
|
|
branches are listed; the current branch will be highlighted with an
|
|
asterisk. Option `-r` causes the remote-tracking branches to be listed,
|
|
and option `-a` shows both local and remote branches. If a `<pattern>`
|
|
is given, it is used as a shell wildcard to restrict the output to
|
|
matching branches. If multiple patterns are given, a branch is shown if
|
|
it matches any of the patterns. Note that when providing a
|
|
`<pattern>`, you must use `--list`; otherwise the command is interpreted
|
|
as branch creation.
|
|
|
|
With `--contains`, shows only the branches that contain the named commit
|
|
(in other words, the branches whose tip commits are descendants of the
|
|
named commit). With `--merged`, only branches merged into the named
|
|
commit (i.e. the branches whose tip commits are reachable from the named
|
|
commit) will be listed. With `--no-merged` only branches not merged into
|
|
the named commit will be listed. If the <commit> argument is missing it
|
|
defaults to 'HEAD' (i.e. the tip of the current branch).
|
|
|
|
The command's second form creates a new branch head named <branchname>
|
|
which points to the current 'HEAD', or <start-point> if given.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will create the new branch, but it will not switch the
|
|
working tree to it; use "git checkout <newbranch>" to switch to the
|
|
new branch.
|
|
|
|
When a local branch is started off a remote-tracking branch, Git sets up the
|
|
branch (specifically the `branch.<name>.remote` and `branch.<name>.merge`
|
|
configuration entries) so that 'git pull' will appropriately merge from
|
|
the remote-tracking branch. This behavior may be changed via the global
|
|
`branch.autoSetupMerge` configuration flag. That setting can be
|
|
overridden by using the `--track` and `--no-track` options, and
|
|
changed later using `git branch --set-upstream-to`.
|
|
|
|
With a `-m` or `-M` option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>.
|
|
If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
|
|
<newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch
|
|
renaming. If <newbranch> exists, -M must be used to force the rename
|
|
to happen.
|
|
|
|
With a `-d` or `-D` option, `<branchname>` will be deleted. You may
|
|
specify more than one branch for deletion. If the branch currently
|
|
has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.
|
|
|
|
Use `-r` together with `-d` to delete remote-tracking branches. Note, that it
|
|
only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist
|
|
in the remote repository or if 'git fetch' was configured not to fetch
|
|
them again. See also the 'prune' subcommand of linkgit:git-remote[1] for a
|
|
way to clean up all obsolete remote-tracking branches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-d::
|
|
--delete::
|
|
Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged in its
|
|
upstream branch, or in `HEAD` if no upstream was set with
|
|
`--track` or `--set-upstream`.
|
|
|
|
-D::
|
|
Shortcut for `--delete --force`.
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
--create-reflog::
|
|
Create the branch's reflog. This activates recording of
|
|
all changes made to the branch ref, enabling use of date
|
|
based sha1 expressions such as "<branchname>@\{yesterday}".
|
|
Note that in non-bare repositories, reflogs are usually
|
|
enabled by default by the `core.logallrefupdates` config option.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
--force::
|
|
Reset <branchname> to <startpoint> if <branchname> exists
|
|
already. Without `-f` 'git branch' refuses to change an existing branch.
|
|
In combination with `-d` (or `--delete`), allow deleting the
|
|
branch irrespective of its merged status. In combination with
|
|
`-m` (or `--move`), allow renaming the branch even if the new
|
|
branch name already exists.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
--move::
|
|
Move/rename a branch and the corresponding reflog.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|
Shortcut for `--move --force`.
|
|
|
|
--color[=<when>]::
|
|
Color branches to highlight current, local, and
|
|
remote-tracking branches.
|
|
The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
|
|
|
|
--no-color::
|
|
Turn off branch colors, even when the configuration file gives the
|
|
default to color output.
|
|
Same as `--color=never`.
|
|
|
|
--column[=<options>]::
|
|
--no-column::
|
|
Display branch listing in columns. See configuration variable
|
|
column.branch for option syntax.`--column` and `--no-column`
|
|
without options are equivalent to 'always' and 'never' respectively.
|
|
+
|
|
This option is only applicable in non-verbose mode.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
--remotes::
|
|
List or delete (if used with -d) the remote-tracking branches.
|
|
|
|
-a::
|
|
--all::
|
|
List both remote-tracking branches and local branches.
|
|
|
|
--list::
|
|
Activate the list mode. `git branch <pattern>` would try to create a branch,
|
|
use `git branch --list <pattern>` to list matching branches.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
-vv::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
When in list mode,
|
|
show sha1 and commit subject line for each head, along with
|
|
relationship to upstream branch (if any). If given twice, print
|
|
the name of the upstream branch, as well (see also `git remote
|
|
show <remote>`).
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Be more quiet when creating or deleting a branch, suppressing
|
|
non-error messages.
|
|
|
|
--abbrev=<length>::
|
|
Alter the sha1's minimum display length in the output listing.
|
|
The default value is 7 and can be overridden by the `core.abbrev`
|
|
config option.
|
|
|
|
--no-abbrev::
|
|
Display the full sha1s in the output listing rather than abbreviating them.
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
--track::
|
|
When creating a new branch, set up `branch.<name>.remote` and
|
|
`branch.<name>.merge` configuration entries to mark the
|
|
start-point branch as "upstream" from the new branch. This
|
|
configuration will tell git to show the relationship between the
|
|
two branches in `git status` and `git branch -v`. Furthermore,
|
|
it directs `git pull` without arguments to pull from the
|
|
upstream when the new branch is checked out.
|
|
+
|
|
This behavior is the default when the start point is a remote-tracking branch.
|
|
Set the branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable to `false` if you
|
|
want `git checkout` and `git branch` to always behave as if '--no-track'
|
|
were given. Set it to `always` if you want this behavior when the
|
|
start-point is either a local or remote-tracking branch.
|
|
|
|
--no-track::
|
|
Do not set up "upstream" configuration, even if the
|
|
branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable is true.
|
|
|
|
--set-upstream::
|
|
If specified branch does not exist yet or if `--force` has been
|
|
given, acts exactly like `--track`. Otherwise sets up configuration
|
|
like `--track` would when creating the branch, except that where
|
|
branch points to is not changed.
|
|
|
|
-u <upstream>::
|
|
--set-upstream-to=<upstream>::
|
|
Set up <branchname>'s tracking information so <upstream> is
|
|
considered <branchname>'s upstream branch. If no <branchname>
|
|
is specified, then it defaults to the current branch.
|
|
|
|
--unset-upstream::
|
|
Remove the upstream information for <branchname>. If no branch
|
|
is specified it defaults to the current branch.
|
|
|
|
--edit-description::
|
|
Open an editor and edit the text to explain what the branch is
|
|
for, to be used by various other commands (e.g. `request-pull`).
|
|
|
|
--contains [<commit>]::
|
|
Only list branches which contain the specified commit (HEAD
|
|
if not specified). Implies `--list`.
|
|
|
|
--merged [<commit>]::
|
|
Only list branches whose tips are reachable from the
|
|
specified commit (HEAD if not specified). Implies `--list`.
|
|
|
|
--no-merged [<commit>]::
|
|
Only list branches whose tips are not reachable from the
|
|
specified commit (HEAD if not specified). Implies `--list`.
|
|
|
|
<branchname>::
|
|
The name of the branch to create or delete.
|
|
The new branch name must pass all checks defined by
|
|
linkgit:git-check-ref-format[1]. Some of these checks
|
|
may restrict the characters allowed in a branch name.
|
|
|
|
<start-point>::
|
|
The new branch head will point to this commit. It may be
|
|
given as a branch name, a commit-id, or a tag. If this
|
|
option is omitted, the current HEAD will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
<oldbranch>::
|
|
The name of an existing branch to rename.
|
|
|
|
<newbranch>::
|
|
The new name for an existing branch. The same restrictions as for
|
|
<branchname> apply.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Start development from 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 an unneeded branch::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
|
|
$ cd my.git
|
|
$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man <1>
|
|
$ git branch -D test <2>
|
|
------------
|
|
+
|
|
<1> Delete the remote-tracking branches "todo", "html" and "man". The next
|
|
'fetch' or 'pull' will create them again unless you configure them not to.
|
|
See linkgit:git-fetch[1].
|
|
<2> Delete the "test" branch even if the "master" branch (or whichever branch
|
|
is currently checked out) does not have all commits from the test branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
If you are creating a branch that you want to checkout immediately, it is
|
|
easier to use the git checkout command with its `-b` option to create
|
|
a branch and check it out with a single command.
|
|
|
|
The options `--contains`, `--merged` and `--no-merged` serve three related
|
|
but different purposes:
|
|
|
|
- `--contains <commit>` is used to find all branches which will need
|
|
special attention if <commit> were to be rebased or amended, since those
|
|
branches contain the specified <commit>.
|
|
|
|
- `--merged` is used to find all branches which can be safely deleted,
|
|
since those branches are fully contained by HEAD.
|
|
|
|
- `--no-merged` is used to find branches which are candidates for merging
|
|
into HEAD, since those branches are not fully contained by HEAD.
