Use branches – PB Docs 2022

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.
