Create, move or delete repository branches. See official documentation (branch listing functionality is omitted in current implementation).
Table C.12: Attributes
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gitPath | String | Path to Git binary. | /usr/bin/git | No |
repository | String | Path to Git repository. | n/a | Yes |
branchname | String | The name of the branch to create or delete. | n/a | Yes |
newbranch | String | The new name for an existing branch. | n/a | Yes, if branch move invoked |
startpoint | String | The new branch head will point to this commit. It may be given as a branch name, a commit-id, or a tag. If this option is omitted, the current HEAD will be used instead. See <start-point> argument of git-branch. | No | |
setupstream | String | If specified branch does not exist yet or if --force has been given, acts exactly like --track. Otherwise sets up configuration like --track would when creating the branch, except that where branch points to is not changed. See --set-upstream option of git-branch. | No | |
track | Boolean | See --track option of git-branch. | false | No |
notrack | Boolean | See --no-track option of git-branch. | false | No |
force | Boolean | Reset <branchname> to <startpoint> if <branchname> exists already. Without -f git branch refuses to change an existing branch. | false | No |
move | Boolean | Move/rename a branch and the corresponding reflog. | false | No |
forcemove | Boolean | Move/rename a branch even if the new branch name already exists. | false | No |
delete | Boolean | Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged in its upstream branch, or in HEAD if no upstream was set with --track or --set-upstream. | false | No |
forcedelete | Boolean | Delete a branch irrespective of its merged status. | false | No |
