|
| +'git new-branch' <branch_name>
|
| +'git new-branch' --upstream_current <branch_name>

| +'git new-branch' --lkgr <branch_name>
|

|
| +DESCRIPTION
|
| +-----------
|
| +
|
| +Creates a new branch. By default the new branch will track the configured
|
| +upstream for the repo (defaults to 'origin/master'). If one of the other options
|
| +is specified, it will track that other ref instead.
|
| +
|
| +Conceptually, each branch in your repo represents one 'Change List (CL)'. 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>`.
|
| +
|
| +OPTIONS
|
| +-------
|
| +
|
| +--upstream_current::
|
| + Set the tracking (upstream) branch to the currently-checked-out branch.
|
| +
|
| +--uptstream <REF>::
|
| + Set the tracking (upstream) branch to <REF>. <REF> may be a local branch,
|
| + remote branch, or a tag.
|
| +
|
| +--lkgr::
|
| + Alias for `--upstream lkgr`.
|
| +
|
| +<branch_name>::
|
| + The name for the new branch.
|
| +

|
| +CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
|
| +-----------------------
|
| +
|
| +depot-tools.upstream
|
| +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| +
|
| +This configures the default 'upstream' for all new branches. If it is unset, it
|
| +defaults to 'origin/master'. This is considered to be the 'root' branch.
