NAME
Git::Raw::Branch - Git branch class
VERSION
version 0.30
SYNOPSIS
use Git::Raw;
# open the Git repository at $path
my $repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> open($path);
# create a new branch named 'some_branch'
$repo -> branch('some_branch', $repo -> head -> target);
DESCRIPTION
Helper class for branch manipulation. Note that a Git branch is nothing more than a Git::Raw::Reference, so this class inherits all methods from it.
WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).
METHODS
create( $repo, $name, $target )
Create a new branch given a name and a target object (either a Git::Raw::Commit or a Git::Raw::Tag).
lookup( $repo, $name, $is_local )
Retrieve the branch corresponding to the given branch name.
move( $name, $force )
Rename the branch to $name
. Note that in order to get the updated branch object, an additional Git::Raw::Branch->lookup()
is needed.
upstream( )
Retrieve the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the local branch.
is_head( )
Check if the current local branch is pointed at by HEAD.
