git-branchless-switch(1)

✨ NAME ✨

switch — switch to the provided branch or commit 💅

This is the git-branchless-switch(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and bestie, it’s giving “small command, big checkout energy.” 🦋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

switch [-i|--interactive] [-c|--create] [-f|--force] [-m|--merge]
[-d|--detach] [-h|--help] [TARGET]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Switch to the provided branch or commit. That’s the whole main-character job, no cap. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i, --interactive — interactively select a commit to check out 🫶
• -c, --create <BRANCH_NAME> — when checking out the target commit, also create a branch with the provided name pointing to that commit. New branch, who dis? 🌸
• -f, --force — forcibly switch commits, discarding any working copy changes if necessary. Careful, bestie — that can discard working copy changes when necessary. 💀
• -m, --merge — if the current working copy changes do not apply cleanly to the target commit, start merge conflict resolution instead of aborting. Conflict mode: activated 😭🔥
• -d, --detach — if the target is a branch, switch to that branch and immediately detach from it. Bye branch attachment 👋💅
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h'). Yes, that’s exactly what it says 🫶
• [TARGET] — the commit or branch to check out. If not provided, defaults to the current commit.

If a revset is provided, it must evaluate to set with exactly 1 head. Exactly one head, no ensemble cast. 👑

If this is provided and the --interactive flag is passed, this text is used to pre-fill the interactive commit selector. Pre-fill slay ✨

🫶 Cute sign-off: the footer here is switch and git-branchless-switch(1) — no extra source/version or date line was printed, so that’s the whole footer vibe. Bye bestie! 💖✨
