bzrlib/doc/api/branch.txt

1

 

The Branch API in bzrlib provides creation and management of Branches.

2

 

 

3

 

A Branch represents a series of commits and merges carried out by a user.

4

 

 

5

 

Make a temporary directory for these tests:

6

 

 

7

 

   >>> from bzrlib import osutils

8

 

   >>> test_dir = osutils.mkdtemp(prefix='bzrlib_doc_api_branch_txt_')

9

 

 

10

 

Branches are created by BzrDir's:

11

 

 

12

 

   >>> from bzrlib.branch import Branch

13

 

   >>> from bzrlib.bzrdir import BzrDir

14

 

 

15

 

   >>> new_branch = BzrDir.create_branch_convenience(test_dir)

16

 

 

17

 

Existing Branches can be opened directly:

18

 

 

19

 

   >>> transport = new_branch.bzrdir.transport

20

 

   >>> another_instance = Branch.open(transport.clone('..').base)

21

 

 

22

 

or via the BzrDir:

23

 

 

24

 

   >>> still_the_same_branch = new_branch.bzrdir.open_branch()

25

 

 

26

 

A branch has a history of revisions on it:

27

 

 

28

 

   >>> new_branch.revision_history()

29

 

   []

30

 

 

31

 

We need to write some more documentation, showing

32

 

push and pull operations. Cloning might also be nice.

33

 

 

34

 

And finally, clean up:

35

 

 

36

 

   >>> import shutil

37

 

   >>> shutil.rmtree(test_dir)
