|
| +.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
| +.sp
|
| +Creates a new branch\&. By default the new branch will track the configured upstream for the repo (defaults to \fIorigin/master\fR)\&. If one of the other options is specified, it will track that other ref instead\&.
|
| +.sp
|
| +Conceptually, each branch in your repo represents one \fIChange List (CL)\fR\&. If you have many independent CLs (i\&.e\&. the changes in one do not interact with/depend on the changes in another), then you should create them as new branches tracking the default upstream (i\&.e\&. git new\-branch <branch_name>)\&. If you have features which depend on each other, you should create stacked branches using git new\-branch \-\-upstream_current <branch_name>\&.
|
