hg branch [-fC] [NAME]

set or show the current branch name

Note:

Branch names are permanent and global. Use 'hg bookmark' to create a light-weight bookmark instead. See 'hg help glossary' for more information about named branches and bookmarks.

With no argument, show the current branch name. With one argument, set the working directory branch name (the branch will not exist in the repository until the next commit). Standard practice recommends that primary development take place on the 'default' branch.

Unless -f/--force is specified, branch will not let you set a branch name that already exists.

Use -C/--clean to reset the working directory branch to that of the parent of the working directory, negating a previous branch change.

Use the command 'hg update' to switch to an existing branch. Use 'hg commit --close-branch' to mark this branch head as closed. When all heads of a branch are closed, the branch will be considered closed.

Returns 0 on success.
