| <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If <code>--list</code> is given, or if there are no non-option arguments, existing |
| branches are listed; the current branch will be highlighted in green and |
| marked with an asterisk. Any branches checked out in linked worktrees will |
| be highlighted in cyan and marked with a plus sign. Option <code>-r</code> causes the |
| remote-tracking branches to be listed, |
| and option <code>-a</code> shows both local and remote branches.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If a <em><pattern></em> |
| is given, it is used as a shell wildcard to restrict the output to |
| matching branches. If multiple patterns are given, a branch is shown if |
| it matches any of the patterns.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that when providing a |
| <em><pattern></em>, you must use <code>--list</code>; otherwise the command may be interpreted |
| as branch creation.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With <code>--contains</code>, shows only the branches that contain the named commit |
| (in other words, the branches whose tip commits are descendants of the |
| named commit), <code>--no-contains</code> inverts it. With <code>--merged</code>, only branches |
| merged into the named commit (i.e. the branches whose tip commits are |
| reachable from the named commit) will be listed. With <code>--no-merged</code> only |
| branches not merged into the named commit will be listed. If the <commit> |
| argument is missing it defaults to <code>HEAD</code> (i.e. the tip of the current |
| branch).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The command’s second form creates a new branch head named <branchname> |
| which points to the current <code>HEAD</code>, or <start-point> if given. As a |
| special case, for <start-point>, you may use "A<code>...</code><code>B</code>" as a shortcut for |
| the merge base of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> if there is exactly one merge base. You |
| can leave out at most one of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code>, in which case it defaults to |
| <code>HEAD</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that this will create the new branch, but it will not switch the |
| working tree to it; use "git switch <newbranch>" to switch to the |
| new branch.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>When a local branch is started off a remote-tracking branch, Git sets up the |
| branch (specifically the <code>branch.</code><em><name></em><code>.remote</code> and <code>branch.</code><em><name></em><code>.merge</code> |
| configuration entries) so that <em>git pull</em> will appropriately merge from |
| the remote-tracking branch. This behavior may be changed via the global |
| <code>branch.autoSetupMerge</code> configuration flag. That setting can be |
| overridden by using the <code>--track</code> and <code>--no-track</code> options, and |
| changed later using <code>git</code> <code>branch</code> <code>--set-upstream-to</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With a <code>-m</code> or <code>-M</code> option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>. |
| If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match |
| <newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch |
| renaming. If <newbranch> exists, -M must be used to force the rename |
| to happen.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The <code>-c</code> and <code>-C</code> options have the exact same semantics as <code>-m</code> and |
| <code>-M</code>, except instead of the branch being renamed, it will be copied to a |
| new name, along with its config and reflog.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>With a <code>-d</code> or <code>-D</code> option, <em><branchname></em> will be deleted. You may |
| specify more than one branch for deletion. If the branch currently |
| has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Use <code>-r</code> together with <code>-d</code> to delete remote-tracking branches. Note, that it |
| only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist |
| in the remote repository or if <em>git fetch</em> was configured not to fetch |
| them again. See also the <em>prune</em> subcommand of <a href="git-remote.html">git-remote(1)</a> for a |
| way to clean up all obsolete remote-tracking branches.</p> |
| </div> |
| </div> |

| <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="dlist"> |
| <dl> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-d</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--delete</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged in its |
| upstream branch, or in <code>HEAD</code> if no upstream was set with |
| <code>--track</code> or <code>--set-upstream-to</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-D</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Shortcut for <code>--delete</code> <code>--force</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--create-reflog</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Create the branch’s reflog. This activates recording of |
| all changes made to the branch ref, enabling use of date |
| based sha1 expressions such as "<branchname>@{yesterday}". |
| Note that in non-bare repositories, reflogs are usually |
| enabled by default by the <code>core.logAllRefUpdates</code> config option. |
| The negated form <code>--no-create-reflog</code> only overrides an earlier |
| <code>--create-reflog</code>, but currently does not negate the setting of |
| <code>core.logAllRefUpdates</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-f</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--force</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Reset <branchname> to <start-point>, even if <branchname> exists |
| already. Without <code>-f</code>, <em>git branch</em> refuses to change an existing branch. |
| In combination with <code>-d</code> (or <code>--delete</code>), allow deleting the |
| branch irrespective of its merged status, or whether it even |
| points to a valid commit. In combination with |
| <code>-m</code> (or <code>--move</code>), allow renaming the branch even if the new |
| branch name already exists, the same applies for <code>-c</code> (or <code>--copy</code>).</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that <em>git branch -f <branchname> [<start-point>]</em>, even with <em>-f</em>, |
| refuses to change an existing branch <em><branchname></em> that is checked out |
| in another worktree linked to the same repository.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-m</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--move</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Move/rename a branch, together with its config and reflog.</p> |

| <p>Color branches to highlight current, local, and |
| remote-tracking branches. |
| The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--no-color</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Turn off branch colors, even when the configuration file gives the |
| default to color output. |

| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-i</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--ignore-case</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Sorting and filtering branches are case insensitive.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--omit-empty</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Do not print a newline after formatted refs where the format expands |
| to the empty string.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--column[=<options>]</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--no-column</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Display branch listing in columns. See configuration variable |
| <code>column.branch</code> for option syntax. <code>--column</code> and <code>--no-column</code> |
| without options are equivalent to <em>always</em> and <em>never</em> respectively.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
