Creating a local branch from Talend Studio
About this task
When working on a Git managed project, you can create local branches from within your Talend Studio and keep your changes local until you push them to the Git server.
Your Talend Studio provides two
options for you to create a local branch:
- Creating a new branch based on a selected source
- Checking out a remote branch as a local one
Information noteNote: In the context of Git branching,
main or master can be regarded as a
special branch.
After the branch is created, you can work on it and manage it using tools provided by your Talend Studio.
Creating a new branch based on a selected source
Procedure
-
From the Talend Studio, click the top
bar of the Repository tree view and select
New Branch from the drop-down menu.

In the New Branch dialog box, select the
source, which can be a remote or local branch your local branch will be based on,
enter a name for your new branch, and click OK.
Checking out a remote branch as a local one
Procedure
-
From the drop-down menu, select a remote branch which you want to check out as a
local one, and then select check out as local
