A GNU Arch Handbook

5.2 Create a Branch

(prev) (next)

Your own changes to a project most often go on your own branch. In the context of a free software project, typically you will create and publish a branch with your changes, and upstream maintainers will merge from there.

Let's create two branches (both of which will be used in later examples, and which will reside in the personal archive created in chapter 5):

   % tla tag -S lord@emf.net--2005/rel--tla--1.3.1 \
                lord@gnu.org--my-hacks-2005/TOP--tla--1.3.1


   % tla tag -S lord@emf.net--2005/tla--fix-1--1.3.1 \
                lord@gnu.org--my-hacks-2005/tla--MYHACK--1.3.1

(In addition to changing the (local) archive name if you run this example, you should also change the strings TOP and MYHACK.)

Commands Discussed
