.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "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.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1WARNING\s0\fR: The \s-1API\s0 of this module is unstable and may change without warning
(any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .SS "create( $repo, $name, $target )"
.el .SS "create( \f(CW$repo\fP, \f(CW$name\fP, \f(CW$target\fP )"
.IX Subsection "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).
.ie n .SS "lookup( $repo, $name, $is_local )"
.el .SS "lookup( \f(CW$repo\fP, \f(CW$name\fP, \f(CW$is_local\fP )"
.IX Subsection "lookup( $repo, $name, $is_local )"
Retrieve the branch corresponding to the given branch name.
.ie n .SS "move( $name, $force )"
.el .SS "move( \f(CW$name\fP, \f(CW$force\fP )"
.IX Subsection "move( $name, $force )"
Rename the branch to \f(CW$name\fR. Note that in order to get the updated branch
object, an additional \f(CW\*(C`Git::Raw::Branch\->lookup()\*(C'\fR is needed.
.SS "upstream( [$upstream] )"
.IX Subsection "upstream( [$upstream] )"
Retrieve or set the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the
local branch. If there is no corresponding supporting reference, this function
will return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR. \f(CW$upstream\fR may either be a Git::Raw::Reference, a
string containing the upstream reference name or \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR. If \f(CW$upstream\fR is
set to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, the remote tracking branch association is removed.
.SS "upstream_name( )"
.IX Subsection "upstream_name( )"
Return the name of the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given
the the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this
function will return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.SS "remote_name( )"
.IX Subsection "remote_name( )"
Return the name of remote that the remote tracking branch belongs to, given
the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this
function will return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.SS "is_head( )"
.IX Subsection "is_head( )"
Check if the current local branch is pointed at by \s-1HEAD.\s0
