Branching Workflow
==================
The branching workflow is usually used with specific guidelines about how to
use and name branches. A general rule of thumb is that each branch should be
specifically named and used for a defined purpose. See the
:ref:`forks-branches-ref` section for detailed steps about how to create
branches.
.. code-block:: bash
# Mercurial Branch
$ hg bookmark issue-568
# Git Branch
$ git branch issue-568
$ git checkout issue-568
Branching Overview

:align: center
:Legend: The following code examples correspond with the numbered steps in
the diagram.
.. code-block:: bash
#1 clone your fork locally and pull the latest changes from upstream
$ git clone git://your-fork
$ git pull --rebase upstream master
#2 create a new branch
$ git checkout -b branch-1
#3 push the branch to your remote fork
$ git push origin branch-1
#4 Open a pull request from your fork to upstream/master
#5 Merge your pull request with the upstream/master
$ git merge --no-ff pull request
#6 pull and rebase your work plus any other work to your local branch
$ git checkout master
$ git pull --rebase upstream master
#7 push the new commit history to your fork
$ git push origin master
Setting up a Branching Workflow
-------------------------------
Setting up a branching workflow requires giving users access to the |repo|.
For more information, see the :ref:`permissions-info-add-group-ref` section.
Using a Branching Workflow
--------------------------
If you are on a team that uses a branching workflow, see the
:ref:`forks-branches-ref` section for how to create branches, and also the
:ref:`pull-requests-ref` section. You may also find the
:ref:`squash-rebase` section useful.
