💖 SVK::Co...:Switch(3) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading a perl manpage together and honestly? it's a cute one. this is SVK::Command::Switch (the page itself goes by SVK::Co...:Switch(3), yes the name is lowkey giving truncated, we don't talk about it 💀) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your manual. it's the lil command that lets you switch to another branch and keep local changes. yes, KEEP your changes. your uncommitted little babies survive the move. iconic behaviour honestly. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SVK::Command::Switch — switch to another branch and keep local changes 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

switch DEPOTPATH [PATH]

that's the whole vibe: you hand it a DEPOTPATH, optionally a PATH, and it does the thing.

heads up girlypop: if what you actually wanna do is change the mirrored location of a remote repository, this is NOT the command for that. go look at the --relocate option on svk mirror instead. different errand, different tool, no cap. 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -r [--revision] REV — act on revision REV instead of the head revision. so instead of "whatever's freshest rn", you're like "no babe, this revision specifically." ✨
  • -d [--detach] — mark a path as no longer checked out. it's giving "we're done here, you're free now" 🕊️
  • -q [--quiet] — print as little as possible. for when you want the command to shut up and just do its job, which, mood. 🤫

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, ate, left no crumbs. 🌈

this lil cutie came to you via perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25 — go forth and switch those branches, you absolute main character. 💜🍓🧚
