The "branch" command:
Run various subcommands to manage branches of the open repository or of the repository identified by the -R or --repository option.
- fossil branch close|reopen ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
- Adds or cancels the "closed" tag to one or more branches. It accepts arbitrary unambiguous symbolic names but will only resolve check-in names and skips any which resolve to non-leaf check-ins.
Options:
- -n|--dry-run
- Do not commit changes, but dump artifact to stdout
- -v|--verbose
- Output more information
- --date-override DATE
- DATE to use instead of 'now'
- --user-override USER
- USER to use instead of the current default
- fossil branch current
- Print the name of the branch for the current check-out
- fossil branch hide|unhide ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
- Adds or cancels the "hidden" tag for the specified branches or or check-in IDs. Accepts the same options as the close subcommand.
- fossil branch info BRANCH-NAME
- Print information about a branch
- fossil branch list|ls ?OPTIONS? ?GLOB?
- fossil branch lsh ?OPTIONS? ?LIMIT?
- List all branches.
Options:
- -a|--all
- List all branches. Default show only open branches
- -c|--closed
- List closed branches
- -m|--merged
- List branches merged into the current branch
- -M|--unmerged
- List branches not merged into the current branch
- -p
- List only private branches
- -r
- Reverse the sort order
- -t
- Show recently changed branches first
- --self
- List only branches where you participate
- --username USER
- List only branches where USER participate
- --users N
- List up to N users partipiating
The current branch is marked with an asterisk. Private branches are marked with a hash sign.
If GLOB is given, show only branches matching the pattern.
The "lsh" variant of this subcommand shows recently changed branches, and accepts an optional LIMIT argument (defaults to 5) to cap output, but no GLOB argument. All other options are supported, with -t being an implied no-op.
- fossil branch new BRANCH-NAME BASIS ?OPTIONS?
- Create a new branch BRANCH-NAME off of check-in BASIS.
Options:
- --private
- Branch is private (i.e., remains local)
- --bgcolor COLOR
- Use COLOR instead of automatic background ("auto" lets Fossil choose it automatically, even for private branches)
- --nosign
- Do not sign contents on this branch
- --date-override DATE
- DATE to use instead of 'now'
- --user-override USER
- USER to use instead of the current default
DATE may be "now" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS". If in year-month-day form, it may be truncated, the "T" may be replaced by a space, and it may also name a timezone offset from UTC as "-HH:MM" (westward) or "+HH:MM" (eastward). Either no timezone suffix or "Z" means UTC.
Options:
- -R|--repository REPO
- Run commands on repository REPO
