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 checkin names and skips any which resolve to non-leaf checkins. Options:
- -n|--dry-run
- do not commit changes and 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 checkin 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?
List all branches. Options:
- -a|--all
- List all branches. Default show only open branches
- -c|--closed
- List closed branches.
- -p
- List only private branches.
- -r
- Reverse the sort order
- -t
- Show recently changed branches first
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.
- fossil branch new BRANCH-NAME BASIS ?OPTIONS?
Create a new branch BRANCH-NAME off of check-in BASIS. Supported options for this subcommand include:
- --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 valid for all subcommands:
- -R|--repository REPO
- Run commands on repository REPO
