Use branches – PB Docs 2019

To create a branch,

1. Right-click the workspace and select Git Create Branch from
   the pop-up menu.

2. In the Create Branch dialog, input the branch name you want
   to create, select whether to base the new branch on HEAD or a
   chosen branch, and click OK.

   To overwrite the branch if a branch with the same name
   already exists, select the “Force if duplicate branch name exists”
   option.

   The branch will be created in your local repository. You can
   use the Git Push menu to commit the branch to the remote
   repository on the server, but note that the PBL file(s) will not
   be uploaded to the server.

To switch to a branch,

1. Right-click the workspace and select Git Switch Branch from
   the pop-up menu.

2. In the Switch Branch dialog, select the branch you want to
   switch to and click OK.

   If you switch to a remote branch (in most cases the one
   starting with “origin/”), you will not be able to commit changes
   to the remote branch.

   If you get a workspace which was added to Git using a
   third-party tool such as TortoiseGit, you should commit the entire
   workspace from the PowerBuilder IDE to Git immediately after you
   get it; otherwise the object or changes may be lost after you
   switch the branch.
