git-branch(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-branch - Create a new branch, or remove an old one
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-branch' [(-d | -D) <branchname>] | [[-f] <branchname> [<start-point>]]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
If no argument is provided, show available branches and mark current
branch with star. Otherwise, create a new branch of name <branchname>.
If a starting point is also specified, that will be where the branch is
created, otherwise it will be created at the current HEAD.
OPTIONS
-------
-d::
Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged.
-D::
Delete a branch irrespective of its index status.
-f::
Force a reset of <branchname> to <start-point> (or current head).
<branchname>::
The name of the branch to create or delete.
<start-point>::
Where to create the branch; defaults to HEAD. This
option has no meaning with -d and -D.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Start development off of a know tag::
+
------------
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6
$ cd my2.6
$ git branch my2.6.14 v2.6.14 <1>
$ git checkout my2.6.14
<1> These two steps are the same as "checkout -b my2.6.14 v2.6.14".
------------
Delete unneeded branch::
+
------------
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
$ cd my.git
$ git branch -D todo <1>

commits from todo branch.
