Description
sno switch x
switches to x if x is a local branch - as before.sno switch origin/x
fails as before: you cannot switch to a remote branchBut,
sno switch x
where x is not yet a local branch but is the name of a remote branch, creates a local branch x that tracksorigin/x
. (Just as it does in git)sno checkout behave similarly, but note that with sno checkout, you CAN
sno checkout origin/x
- this refish is resolved to a particular commit, and that commit is checked out as a "detached HEAD".Related links:
