If you have ever been working on code to realize that you cannot commit the changes that you have made to the original branch you were working in, it might get a bit annoying. Fortunaltely, there is an easy way to commit your code in a new branch (without you losing any data).
In order to do that, you only need to follow three steps:
- Create a new branch in which you will commit your changes
- Switch your current working copy to this new branch
- Commit your changes to the new branch
The SVN command line for this are as follow:
1
2
3
svn copy -m "Creating new branch" https://url/to/existing/repository/branches/current_branch https://url/to/existing/repository/branches/new_branch
svn switch https://url/to/existing/repository/branches/new_branch .
svn commit -m "Saving my changes in the new branch"
Note that the command above assume that you are working from your working copy folder. If not, a simple cd /path/to/working/copy/. should suffice or you can adapt the second line to svn switch https://url/to/existing/repository/branches/new_branch /path/to/working/copy/.
