GIT-CREATE-BRANCH(1) Git Extras GIT-CREATE-BRANCH(1) NAME git-create-branch - Create branches SYNOPSIS git-create-branch [-r|--remote [remote_name]] <branchname> DESCRIPTION Creates local branch named <branchname> and optionally sets up a remote tracking branch. OPTIONS <-r|--remote [remote_name]> Setup a remote tracking branch using remote_name. If remote_name is not supplied, use origin by default. <--from [start_point]> Setup a start point when the branch created. If --from is not supplied, use the current branch by default. <branchname> The name of the branch to create. PREFERENCES You may save your default preference for the remote option above by using git config with the key git-extras.create-branch.remote whose value will be the default remote when [-r|--remote] is not specified. $ git config git-extras.create-branch.remote lucinda The command line option -r|--remote will override this preference. EXAMPLES With no remote preference set: # creates local branch 'integration' $ git create-branch integration # creates local & remote branch 'integration' (on default 'origin') $ git create-branch -r integration # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on 'upstream' $ git create-branch -r upstream integration With git-extras.create-branch.remote preference set to 'lucinda': # creates local & remote branch 'integration' (on preference 'lucinda') $ git create-branch integration # overriding preference, using default `-r` of 'origin' # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on default 'origin' $ git create-branch -r integration # overriding preference, using specified `-r` of 'upstream' # creates local & remote branch 'integration' on 'upstream' $ git create-branch -r upstream integration NOTES * As of 4.4.0, the default behavior has changed. git-create-branch will no longer automatically setup a remote tracking branch unless the -r|-remote option is specified. See additional note on preference fea- ture in 4.8.0-dev below. * As of 4.8.0-dev, the remote option can be set via git config preference as described in Preferences section.
