ghc_repos_git_create_branch: Git Create Branch

In KopfLab/ghctools: Tools for GitHub Classroom

Git Create Branch

Description

Creates a new branch and switches to it for all repositories that match the prefix. Note that the git command used for this is git checkout. Also be warned that unless parameter publish = FALSE, the new branch is published to the GitHub remote right away.

Usage

ghc_repos_git_create_branch(
  prefix,
  branch,
  parent = "master",
  publish = TRUE,
  folder = "."
)

Arguments

prefix	repository prefix (typically this would be a github classroom assignment prefix)
branch	branch name (for commands that interact with branches)
parent	parent branch name or commit SHAE to use for creating the new branch
publish	whether to publish the new branch, i.e. link it to the remote repository
folder	the target directory where to look for matching git repositories (searches recursively in all subdirectories)

Value

returns the prefix invisibly to facilitate piping
