<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>git-branch -
List, create, or delete branches.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="verseblock">
<div class="content"><em>git-branch</em> [-r]
<em>git-branch</em> [-f] &lt;branchname&gt; [&lt;start-point&gt;]
<em>git-branch</em> (-d | -D) &lt;branchname&gt;&#8230;</div></div>
</div>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>With no arguments given (or just <tt>-r</tt>) a list of available branches
will be shown, the current branch will be highlighted with an asterisk.</p>
<p>In its second form, a new branch named &lt;branchname&gt; will be created.
It will start out with a head equal to the one given as &lt;start-point&gt;.
If no &lt;start-point&gt; is given, the branch will be created with a head
equal to that of the currently checked out branch.</p>
<p>With a <tt>-d</tt> or <tt>-D</tt> option, <tt>&lt;branchname&gt;</tt> will be deleted. You may
specify more than one branch for deletion.</p>
</div>
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
-d
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-D
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Delete a branch irrespective of its index status.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-f
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Force the creation of a new branch even if it means deleting
a branch that already exists with the same name.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-r
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
List only the "remote" branches.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
&lt;branchname&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The name of the branch to create or delete.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
&lt;start-point&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The new branch will be created with a HEAD equal to this. It may
be given as a branch name, a commit-id, or a tag. If this option
is omitted, the current branch is assumed.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
Start development off of a known tag
</dt>
<dd>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6
$ cd my2.6
$ git branch my2.6.14 v2.6.14 <b>(1)</b>
$ git checkout my2.6.14</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
This step and the next one could be combined into a single step with
"checkout -b my2.6.14 v2.6.14".
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</dd>
<dt>
Delete unneeded branch
</dt>
<dd>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
$ cd my.git
$ git branch -D todo <b>(1)</b></tt></pre>
</div></div>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
delete todo branch even if the "master" branch does not have all
commits from todo branch.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<h2>Notes</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>If you are creating a branch that you want to immediately checkout, it's
easier to use the git checkout command with its <tt>-b</tt> option to create
a branch and check it out with a single command.</p>
