Creating and deleting a branch
You can use the CodeCatalyst console to create and delete branches in a CodeCatalyst repository. The branches you create will be visible to other users the next time they pull changes from the repository. When you delete a branch, copies of that branch remain in the clones of the repository on local computers until users pull and synchronize those changes.
Tip
You can also create branches as part of creating a Dev Environment to work on your code. For more information, see Creating a Dev Environment.
You can also use Git to create and delete branches. For more information, see Common Git commands for branches.
