Create Branch

A branch in TD/OMS is a work area where a task can be worked on in isolation. All work done here will not interfere with any other work currently underway. Every developer works in a branch for the task at hand and then merges the changes back into the master branch if needed.

The Create Branch function is available in the Work management plugin interface via the context menu.


Functionality

Octo create branch wizard.png

The branch code and description are filled with information from the task by default.

When creating a branch:

  • The branch code and description fields are pre-filled based on the task information by default.
  • The branch code and description cannot be empty. Both fields must be filled in to proceed.
  • You may modify these values, but the branch code must correspond to an existing task.
  • The force indicator is always enabled (ensures the branch is created even if a branch is already connected to the task — the existing branch will be replaced by the new one.).

Press Finish to validate the input and create the branch.

If validation errors occur, they will be shown in the wizard header:

When no errors are found, the branch will be created successfully.
